GLC Posted 30 May 2017 Share Posted 30 May 2017 And here is that statement from Riyad Mahrez in full: "Out of the huge admiration and respect I hold for Leicester City Football Club I wanted to be totally honest and transparent with them and have therefore informed the club that I feel now is the time for me to move on. "I had a good discussion with the Chairman last summer and we agreed at that time that I would stay for another year in order to help the club as best as I could following the transition of winning the title and in the Champions League. "However, I am fiercely ambitious and feel that now is the time to move on to a new experience. "I've always enjoyed a good relationship with the Chairman and everyone at the club, and I hope I have been able to repay the faith shown to me by my performances and commitment on the pitch during my time here. "I've had the four best seasons of my career at Leicester and have loved every moment. I feel immense pride to have been a part of what we have achieved during my time at the club, culminating in becoming Premier League Champions. "The relationship I share with the club and our amazing fans is something I will treasure forever and I truly hope they will understand and respect my decision."

Fox92 Posted 30 May 2017 Share Posted 30 May 2017 We won't get the price we would have last summer. One good season isn't going to get him a top club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKCJ Posted 30 May 2017 Share Posted 30 May 2017 I would like to imagine that a deal has been agreed. Hopefully a club like Monaco where he'll fit in well and get Champions League football. Wonder if Atletico are interested? Considering his surprise appearance the other day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramboacdc Posted 30 May 2017 Share Posted 30 May 2017 explains why he was so shit this season. he has just took 20M off his price tag though by saying he wants out. expect wenger to come in and bid £4.50 and a kit kat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerard Posted 30 May 2017 Share Posted 30 May 2017 4 minutes ago, AKCJ said: Fair play mate, but for **** sake please go abroad. I couldn't care less where he goes, I do however care about the transfer fee. I want £40m at the absolute minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxes_rule1978 Posted 30 May 2017 Share Posted 30 May 2017 The performances this season pretty much shown he had lost interest really. Disappointed to see him leave hope he achieves what he is looking for, one of the best players we have had Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danno Posted 30 May 2017 Share Posted 30 May 2017 Definitely need a suitable replacement. Gray is miles off being good enough for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxoffderby Posted 30 May 2017 Share Posted 30 May 2017 I respect his wishes. Fantastic in the title winning season, poor this season. £35-40m. Good luck RM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rigga Posted 30 May 2017 Share Posted 30 May 2017 If Sissoko is worth 30m then we want at least 40m/45 for Riyad.. Get him sold and sold quick so we can invest wisely this time around and not on similar dross to last summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose2010 Posted 30 May 2017 Share Posted 30 May 2017 Gutted, really am. The best player ever to wear at LCFC shirt and its been an absolute plessure watching him play. We will miss him more than anyone else in the team. You wont relise what we had until he has gone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
