Leicester turned Dow a bid from Barcelona for Riyad Mahrez

[Shanghai]

Barcelona tried to sign Leicester forward Riyad Mahrez during the summer transfer window, Roma chief Monchi has claimed. 

The Algeria winger, who wanted to play Champions League football, was lined up by the Serie A giants as a replacement for Mohamed Salah after he joined Liverpool for £39million.

Christ! I knew Mahrez was a valuable asset but not to the extent of being quoted on the Dow.... Is he listed on the FTSE, too?

[brucey]

Nah, I'm not having that. Bitter old man. Why would he know the details of our discussions with other clubs from a different league?

We all know Riyad would have pulled a major, major sulk if it was remotely true. He didn't.

[The Horse's Mouth]

surely bollocks, if they're willing to fork out 30 mill for Paulinho, 50 for Mahrez is more than reasonable 

[Swarles Barkley]

Id take it with a pinch of salt. This is the same deluded cvnt that valued him at 20mil

[urban.spaceman]

PSST.... Monchi... The fee is £50m, yeah? Not £20m. Or £30m. Or £35m. Or £39m.

£50m.

Top business tip - meet the bid required by the seller and they will consider your bid. Works for most football clubs in the world. Fvck off.

They wanted him at Euronext but were disappointed to find out he was going to AFCON.

Unlikely it would of been all over the media and RM would of gone on strike its his favourite club. Wum

[GloverFox]

Monchi thought it was an open bid on eBay when he should have hit the buy now and simply paid the more than reasonable 50 Million (excluding postage and packaging) .... bl@@dy tight ar@e !

But sounds like a move to unsettle RM and get him asking to leave!

[mozartfox]

SLB - Just trying to unsettle Mahrez because we told him (Monchi) to go do one with his pathetic bids.

[Vardinio'sCat]

 

I love it when we turn down Barca. 

 

Even if the the offer was 50p, I'd still be chuffed.

[SheppyFox]

Lies  False propaganda  

[ozleicester]

We iz massiv innit

[Ted Maul]

This Monchi guy is an absolute turnip. Just using this to disguise his failure to sign him.

[murphy]

What a charmless, bitter old twat this Monchi guy is.

 

Obviously a lie and an attempt  to unsettle the player.  

 

We should refuse to deal with him when he comes back with his pathetic bids in January.

[foxinsocks]

This guy is trying to show his fans that roma isnt worse than barca...

...we are just fluff to these guys.... as is mahrez....

He's got a great left footsie!

Surely Mahrez’ price tag will be about £70m in Jan as he’s now actually playing well.

He has been quoted elsewhere as saying Barca were after him, as has been said though - 100% smoke and mirrors to attempt to hide his failure in missing his top summer target.

[Lovejoy]

Monchi comes across as a complete cvnt.

[MC Prussian]

Essence of the story?

Riyad Mahrez is a sought-after player.

 

News to me.
