Roma homing in on Mahrez again

- BY DARREN LEWIS

ROMA could reignite their interest in Riyad Mahrez this summer.

The Leicester winger, 27, battled to leave the club to go to Manchester City during the January transfer window.

But while he would have been a squad player there, Roma see him as potentiall­y a key man.

Leicester boss Claude Puel would still demand a huge transfer fee for the Algeria star, under contract until 2020. But Roma may be willing to do a cash-plus-player deal for Mahrez, who they have rated for a long time.
