Yeah I expect we extend, and reckon he'd be glad to at his age to get an extesnion at 31, and perhaps he plays with us until he's 32/33 and then goes to another league. Hopefully in that time we mold another player (Palmer) to be able to take over as the main player over those 2 years.

He looked too happy in the videos. He isn't going anywhere.

Folks, it's time we stopped with the FFS stuff. It's not particularly amusing any more.

Yeah, what are they waiting for?
Don’t understand the love in that some have for Mahrez and the call to extend his contract. Personally, he should be the first out of the three offensive forwards in their last year to go, then Raz and then Gabby.
His age profile (32 mid way through next season) limited versatility (he really can’t play anywhere other than the right hand side of a front three), his lack of pace and his lack of pressing without the ball all say he should be the one we’re looking to move on this off season. People will talk about the goals he scored, but we are going to have more goals in this team with the inclusion of Haaland and Alvarez. Further, I’m not that sure how many critical goals he has scored in a City shirt (not including penalties).
If he wants to stay (as claimed) and the club is unable to move him on (seems to be little interest from other clubs) then he plays out the final year of his contract, but there’s no way they should be extending it.
If all three were available for free (next year), I don’t see many clubs clamouring to sign Mahrez. But I see a shed load clamouring to sign Jesus and Raz.
