Expected to be one of the early transfers of the window, Riyad Mahrez to Manchester City is, once again, taking a long time, and it appears Leicester City are, to the surprise of few, the cause of it.
This is what Le Buteur in Algeria are reporting on Monday, explaining the situation to their readers.
As things stand, Manchester City are prepared to offer €60m + Patrick Roberts for the Leicester star, while the Foxes are demanding €75m + the young forward.
The lack of movement behind the scenes is said to have irritated Riyad Mahrez, who is starting to become impatient, ‘very annoyed’ towards his club’s board for ‘blocking and complicating’ his transfer to the Etihad.
The Algeria international is reported to have negotiated an agreement with Leicester a few weeks ago that he’d be allowed to leave this summer and avoid what happened in January, yet a similar pattern is emerging.
However, Le Buteur do state everything should be sorted out ‘very soon’, allowing Mahrez to enjoy his holidays and calmly sort out his house move over the coming weeks.
