Leicester City has reportedly expressed interest in re-signing their former winger, Riyad Mahrez, from Manchester City. The Algerian international, who played a pivotal role in Leicester’s historic Premier League title win in the 2015-16 season, has been a key figure at Manchester City since his transfer in 2018.
Mahrez, known for his exceptional dribbling skills, creativity, and goal-scoring ability, has continued to excel under Pep Guardiola’s management, contributing significantly to Manchester City’s domestic successes and European ambitions. However, Leicester City’s approach indicates their desire to bring back a player who left a lasting impact during his initial spell at the club.
The potential transfer would mark a nostalgic return for Mahrez to Leicester City, where he enjoyed his breakthrough years in English football. His departure to Manchester City was a record-breaking deal for Leicester at the time, highlighting his stature as a top-tier player in the Premier League.
Negotiations between the clubs are likely to focus on transfer fee and contractual terms, with Leicester City keen to strengthen their squad for future challenges in both domestic and European competitions. Mahrez’s possible return to Leicester City would undoubtedly excite fans who fondly remember his contributions to their remarkable league triumph and subsequent rise in English football.
