Manchester City are considering offering a new contract to Riyad Mahrez this summer.

The departure of Raheem Sterling to Chelsea means that Mahrez is even more important to Pep Guardiola's team.

Fabrizio Romano reports that the 31-year-old winger will get improved terms and a contract extension in the coming months.

Manager Guaridola does not want to lose another talented forward, having let Sterling and Gabriel Jesus leave already.

City have secured Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez earlier this summer, while last summer's marquee signing Jack Grealish barely featured last term in important matches.

Mahrez managed 16 goals in 28 games for the Sky Blues last term.
