RIYAD MAHREZ
Age: 27. Club: Leicester City.
Nationality: Algeria (34 caps) Position: Winger
Plays like: Freddie Ljungberg, capable of speedy runs down the sideline as well as the passing of a top playmaker.
Price tag: It’s been long known that Mahrez wants to leave the East Midlands club and that a move to City fell through in January because the asking price – rumoured to be around £95m – was deemed to be too high. City wouldn’t match Leicester’s valuation then and the same scenario may repeat itself.
Likelihood of a move: 50/50. City were rumoured to have offered £60m plus an unnamed player in January in informal talks. Leicester may see no reason to accept this valuation.
