Personally i'd sooner see him go to Monaco for a bit less than to Arsenal but who am I to suggest our owners lose a few million when i wouldn't necessarily do it myself. Actually, yes I would. I'd sooner send the bloke home for the rest of his contract than sell him to Arsenal. The problem with Monaco is that they can't offer his wage after winning the league. Now they have to increase everyone's salary. The average wage bill is probably too high already to bring on another high paid players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joachim1965 Posted 31 May 2017 Share Posted 31 May 2017 The club have stated that they won't sell Mahrez unless they receive a substantial sum. It remains to be seen what they think is substantial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox 4 Life Posted 31 May 2017 Share Posted 31 May 2017 Monaco are having a fire sale of their own so not sure why he would want to go there. Mendy and Silva to Man City and Mpabbe won't be there for long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotch Posted 31 May 2017 Share Posted 31 May 2017 Best technically gifted player to ever wear our shirt (other than GTF, ofcourse) and I definitely don't grudge him his oppertunity to move on. He gave us another year and he didn't exactly have to do that but in hindsight, would it have been better if he did go last year? We wouldn't exactly have missed his performances this year (although had he not been in the team, we would have blamed our failures on him being sild) and we would have got considerably more for him at the end of our title winning season... Just a thought but really it doesn't matter. I wish him all the best and im just hoping that Rudkin stumbles across a dusty old lamp with a Genie inside and one ofor his wishes is for better negotiation skills to see Riyad off and his replacement in.

Guest CityFan 06 Posted 31 May 2017 Share Posted 31 May 2017 For him to progress in his career, it's probably the right time for him to move on. Mahrez would do really well at a club like Arsenal, or someone who is possession based. If he's in a side like that, he will prosper because he will be alongside like-minded technical players.

Sammy Posted 31 May 2017 Share Posted 31 May 2017 I'm very worried we're going to be in a situation where we have lost Mahrez and Kante for less than 60m.. when in reality both players should've been going for 60m each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st albans fox Posted 31 May 2017 Share Posted 31 May 2017 Some odd stuff in here - riyad will not be leaving here for a pay cut. It's his job. He has his family's (inc extended) future to think about. so his problem isn't just the fee we require - its his salary package and agent aswell. There arent too many clubs o/s of the premier league who could be involved in this. I always thought chelsea and I am yet to change my mind.

foxes21 Posted 31 May 2017 Share Posted 31 May 2017 What if no-one comes in for him? Mahrez will want CL football & high wages. Also clubs have to meet our asking price. Wishful thinking, but for the reasons above he might have to stay one more season & play the season of his life to attract the big clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narboroughblue Posted 31 May 2017 Share Posted 31 May 2017 I will be sad to see him go, the most technically gifted player I've seen in a Leicester shirt and probably ever will see. That being said for the right price I think it makes sense to move him on now. The right price being between £40 and £50 million in my opinion. The problem being outside of England this really limits the list of buyers. if we do (and I hope we do as we've said) play hard ball this could well drag on quite a while which isn't ideal for either party. Think I saw third favourite with the bookies is for him to stay. That really wouldn't surprise me either. Lots of hard work for the club to do over the summer and deciding the manager position needs resolving asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he wants to leave at all costs, so yeah if a better offer does not come knocking on the door, he would stay.. and maybe win the league with Leicesiter again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonnieTodger Posted 31 May 2017 Share Posted 31 May 2017 I agree that Premier League teams might be the only ones willing to meet ours/his financial demands. Monaco have changed their model, so if it is France I'd imagine it'd be Marseille or PSG. Marseille (I think) have rich new owners, but can't offer Champions League football.
