In the midst of Riyad Mahrez’s astonishing £865,000-a-week contract signing with Saudi Pro League’s Al-Ahli, his wife Taylor Ward was recently spotted at a petrol station looking somewhat glum. Despite her husband’s jaw-dropping new deal, Taylor seems to continue her everyday errands just like before.
The 25-year-old Taylor Ward was pictured filling up her luxurious Mercedes car at a petrol station in Cheshire, appearing somewhat bored. Life doesn’t seem to have changed much for her, even as Mahrez embarks on a new chapter in his football career in the Middle East.
Riyad Mahrez proposed to Taylor back in 2021, popping the question in Mykonos with a stunning £400,000 custom-made ring. The couple secretly tied the knot in 2022 and joyfully announced the birth of their daughter, Mila, in July of the same year.
As Riyad Mahrez departs Manchester City, he becomes the second player from their treble-winning squad of the previous season to leave the club this summer. The 32-year-old winger will be joining Al-Ahli, playing alongside other former Premier League stars such as Roberto Firmino, Eduoard Mendy, and Ezgjan Alioski.
The transfer to Al-Ahli will bring Manchester City a £30 million fee for the talented Algerian, who initially joined the club from Leicester in 2018 for £60 million. Mahrez’s skills and abilities will now grace the pitches of Saudi Arabia as he embraces this new chapter in his football journey.

The allure of the Saudi Pro League has attracted numerous big names, with Cristiano Ronaldo seemingly setting the trend in the previous season. Notably, Sadio Mane is reportedly close to securing a move to Al-Nassr from Bayern Munich, while Kylian Mbappe turned down a world record £11.6 million per week offer to remain at PSG.
Despite the excitement surrounding her husband’s career move, Taylor Ward remains composed and grounded as she continues with her daily life. The couple’s strong bond has been evident since their marriage last year, and together they look forward to this new adventure in Riyad Mahrez’s football career.
