BREAKING: Man City target Riyad Mahrez has handed in an official transfer request at Leicester City, according to Sky Sports.
Sky Sports News understands Manchester City have offered Leicester in excess of £50m for Riyad Mahrez – and we believe this is their second bid for the Algeria winger during this window.
Pep Guardiola has dramatically switched his search for an extra attacker to the gifted Algerian winger after pulling out of the Alexis Sanchez deal.
Despite topping the Premier League table, City want something more in attack with Leroy Sane injured for six or seven weeks and the Champions League to be challenged for.
Money is no object in the Mahrez move but they will face opposition from the Foxes heirarchy who have turned down advances in the past and have the cash to do so again.
