Man City close in on Mahrez

The deal is agreed subject to Mahrez passing all the usual tests, and it is worth an initial £60m. 

City have been chasing the former PFA Player of the Year for some time now, leading to him becoming unsettled at times. 

In January, Mahrez handed in a transfer request to try to force the move through, but Leicester held firm and he subsequently returned to first team action following a two week saga where he was not seen at training. 

Mahrez scored 13 times for the 'Foxes' last season, and was a key part of their Premier League winning campaign. 

He is not yet back in training with Leicester, despite most of their first team reporting back this week, as Algeria recently played a friendly and he has been given an extended break.
