[ad_1]

Algerian international Riyad Mahrez, the British champion with Leicester in 2016, has signed a five-year contract in Manchester City, the Citizens announced on their website. He arrives for an estimated EUR 68 million by the British media.

The 27-year-old striker is expected to spend his medical visit in the week, says Sky Sports News.

Arrived from Le Havre (L2) in 2014 to nearly 452,000 euros, Mahrez had already been the subject of advances from the leaders of Citizens. The latter had proposed in January EUR 56.5 million and the young winger or attacking midfielder Patrick Roberts, whose transfer value is estimated at EUR 17 million, in the transaction.

After the refusal of the Foxes, who claimed 90 M EUR, Rihad Mahrez had expressed his dissatisfaction by going on strike for fifteen days during which he had not played any match.

Author of 17 goals in the incredible season of the title obtained under the orders of the Italian coach Claudio Ranieri, Mahrez won the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) Player of the Year Award in 2016
