Leicester City’s Riyad Mahrez is close to following his colleague N’Golo Kante after snubbing £100 000 deal to stay at the King Power.
Reports linking Mahrez to Conte’s side have grown imminent after Barcelona denied claims that it had interest in the player, according to Mirror Sports.
The Algerian next option is now tied to English premier league side with Chelsea leading the race. Arsenal have also been reportedly eying the winger after fans’ call on Wenger to sign him.
Mahrez has a release clause of £30 million, a figure Conte will pounce to eagerly.
However, Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri wish that the winger stays at the King Power.
