Mahrez right now in Barcelona ahead of move to Camp Nou
Riyad Mahrez has landed in Barcelona as a move to the Blaugrana draws closer, we understands.
The Leicester City star was granted leave from international duty with Algeria on Wednesday,
and it appears his destination will be Camp Nou.
After landing Ousmane Dembele, Barca have zeroed in on
26-year-old Mahrez to continue to bolster the club's ranks following the €222m
departure of Neymar to PSG.
Barca have made several bids for Philippe Coutinho but with
Liverpool remaining firm that the Brazilian won't be sold, the Catalans
have turned their attention to a different Premier League star.
Mahrez has declared his intent to depart the 2015-16 Premier
League champions, but the Foxes have turned down three bids from Roma
– the last of which was worth €40m.
But
it appears the 2016 PFA Player of the Year will get his move away from the
King Power on deadline day, and he'll be joining Lionel Messi and Co. at Camp
Nou.
