Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has £45m bid for Riyad Mahrez accepted by Leicester ahead of Barcelona
Blues boss reportedly pressing ahead with move for Algerian despite Foxes claims that they have not accepted an offer
CHELSEA have reportedly had a £45million bid for Riyad Mahrez accepted by Leicester City.
However someone should have really alerted Leicester because no-one at the King Power Stadium is aware of the mystery figure who has sanctioned the deal!
The Algerian remains a Fox for now... just as he did despite all the Arsenal rumours in the summer... and in January.... and amid a bucketful of Chelsea, Arsenal and Barcelona rumours now.
We reported earlier how Mahrez had been given permission to leave his national team's training base this morning to finalise his transfer out of Leicester.
He was pictured with a fan at a Paris Charles De Gaulle with his destination unknown.
It was understood he was heading to London and Stamford Bridge to sign for Chelsea.
Barcelona were also reported to be interested in the 2015-16 title winner but it appears Antonio Conte who has won the race for the wide man.
