At first, it seemed like just a long shot, what with Roma getting a lot of money for Mohamed Salah from Liverpool and them needing to replace the Egyptian forward, but Riyad Mahrez to Italy is becoming a real thing.
Wanting to leave the King Power Stadium, and making that desire very public, the Algeria international was perhaps expecting a bit more Premier League interest in his services, but a move to a Champions League playing team in the south of Europe isn’t the worst alternative.
However, the Italian newspaper believe the Serie A side could raise their offer to €30m for the 26-year-old, after reports emerged their first offer of £20m had been rejected by the Foxes.
Of course, you cannot write an article about Riyad Mahrez without mentioning the interest from Arsenal, as everyone knows a move to Arsene Wenger’s side is a far more attractive one for the Leicester star.
Monchi knows this is a difficult one to complete, but he’s trying nonetheless, because otherwise he wouldn’t be doing his job properly.
From Italy, it’s advantage Arsenal, even if Roma still stand a chance.
