LEICESTER CITY winger Riyad Mahrez has been offered to Barcelona, according to reports in Spain.
The news comes in the wake of his move to Serie A side AS Roma now being in jeopardy as they refuse to increase their £32million offer.
Barcelona are looking to replace Neymar who was signed by Paris St-Germain for a world record fee of £200million.
NOT PICKED YOUR FANTASY FOOTBALL TEAM YET? WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
And, according to Sport, Mahrez is the latest man on Barcelona’s radar.
Barca are already chasing after Borussia Dortmund forward Ousmane Dembélé and Liverpool midfielder Philippe Coutinho.
Mahrez won the Premier League with Leicester two seasons ago along with being voted 2016 PFA player of the season.
Arsene Wenger also confirmed his interest in Mahrez as he confirmed he ‘rated’ him as a player but had similar types with Alex Iwobi, Jack Wilshere and Mesut Ozil.
The Algeria international played in Leicester’s opening league fixture against Arsenal on Friday, with the Foxes losing 4-3.
Mahrez didn’t manage to make it on the score sheet but he did get an assist for team mate Jamie Vardy.
The 26-year-old has made it clear over the summer that he would like to depart from the foxes but whether Leicester City will agree a fee for him could be another matter.
Despite being offered to Barcelona and Roma not being prepared to bid any higher, Mahrez is currently left with an uncertain future.
