Riyad Mahrez leaves Algeria camp to 'formalise transfer to a new club'

 

Leicester City midfielder Riyad Mahrez has been left Algeria's training camp in order to 'formalise his transfer to a new club' the federation has confirmed.

Mahrez was the PFA Player of the Year in 2016 after he helped Leicester to a shock Premier League title.

The team struggled to replicate that incredible form last season and Mahrez was widely linked with a move away, even if it did not materialise.

Serie A side Roma have reportedly had three bids turned down for the winger this summer and the Algerian statement confirmed that he has left to sort out a transfer.
