Ilkay Gundogan, who signed for Barcelona on a free transfer last month after leavingManchester City, also turned down a major offer from Saudi Arabia.
Mahrez however continues to be strongly linked with a possible move to Saudi Arabia, with the Algerian having not featured in either the Champions League Final or FA Cup Final last month.
