Leicester
City could be set for talks with Barcelona in the coming weeks, with regards to
selling Riyad Mahrez to the Spanish side.
Sport have reported Barcelona
could switch their attention to Mahrez as a move for Borussia Dortmund’s
Ousmane Dembele is looking less likely.
The France international’s
form this season, and in particular the game against England, has resulted in
the youngster’s value increasing, and therefore Leicester City’s Mahrez is now
the cheaper option for Barcelona.
It’s been claimed Leicester
City would be prepared to hold talks with Barcelona over a possible deal, now
that Mahrez has told the Premier League side he wants to leave. Last year
Barcelona wanted to sign the player, but Leicester City weren’t interested.
However, with situation now
different the Foxes would consider a sale at offers between €35m and €40m.
Barcelona interest keeps
popping up, but it doesn’t seem to be anything overly serious. There’s every
chance Mahrez is a back-up option if several other ideas come to nothing.
