  • Riyad Mahrez’s ex-wife Rita Johal blames the famous move to Manchester City from Leicester for the breakdown of their marriage
  • The ex-couple met in 2014 and got married only four months later
  • The Manchester City star, currently on a £160,000-a- week age at City, is engaged to stunning model Taylor Ward

Manchester City star Riyad Mahrez’s ex-wife Rita Johal has sensationally blamed the club for the couples failed marriage.

Rita Johal recently spoke to The Sun where she made some interesting claims on why her marriage to the former Leicester City man did not last long.

According to the Today Singer, Mahrez completely changed once he sealed a transfer to Manchester City from Leicester.

Furthermore, Rita thinks Harry Kane’s wife dodged a bullet after a botched move to Manchester City was confirmed when Kane announced he would be staying at Tottenham last week.

Johal told The Sun:

"I can't comment on other people's lives but moving there changed my husband. Harry Kane's wife (Katie Goodland) probably had a lucky escape. Others should be careful.”

Mahrez’s profile went through the roof after a famous Premier League title win with Leicester City and he went on to seal a £60million move to Manchester City in 2018.

Rita went on to allege:

“Riyad let fame go to his head. He changed when he went to Manchester City.
“The Riyad I met is a different person to the one he is now. He parties, he acts like a flash footballer.
“I don't hate him, that's a strong word, but I am shocked and saddened by what he has done."

The sultry lass goes on to claim that Mahrez constantly blamed some of the strain in their marriage to the pressure of playing for a club like Manchester City.

The couple met back in 2014 and hit if off almost immediately, getting married after only four months. Their marriage has produced one beautiful daughter.

Since their divorce, Mahrez has moved on and is currently dating stunning model Taylor Ward.

Manchester City are biggest spenders on transfers

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that Premier League club Manchester City have been named as the No.1 club with the most international transfer and highest spenders between the year 2011 and 2020.

In the previous decade, the Citizens who were earlier chasing a top-four finish became five-time Premier League winners and major Champions League contenders, having reached their first final in May.

Although recent successes of the club could be attributed to Pep Guardiola’s brilliant management style, there is no doubt that Manchester City have spent big to turn around their fortunes.
