Riyad Mahrez’s move to Manchester City is inching closer, but there is still work to be done.
Leicester City and the Premier League champions are close to agreeing a deal, and Sky have reported a fee of £60 million has been agreed for the Algeria international, report Leicester Mercury.
Speculation has been rife since the end of last season that a deal would be done, but the two clubs were unable to reach an agreement, but it seems they are now closer than ever, although there is still work to be done.
The £60 million figure speculated is less than the £80 million City asked for in January, and more than the £50 million plus Patrick Roberts Man City were offering, but the two scenarios are different now as City were reluctant to sell a key player on transfer deadline day in the middle of the season without an opportunity to bring in a replacement.
