Is flattering for the lad to be linked but until a bid is made, it is just a rumour and can be ignored.
... as much as I love Riyad; if Barcelona are willing to throw in Neymar and make up the difference in cash then, although reluctantly, I think we might just consider it ...
Well... Yes. They still need a squad. Like Sanchez, would probably go, not play for 2 years, then move to a big English club. If they make a bid well done lad!
To be honest if I were Mahrez I would snatch their hand off if Barcelona made an offer. Chances like that don't come round very often. What a lifestyle it would be. Beats 30 years in IT, that's for sure!
£30m and a 50% sell on clause? Though once you reach Barcelona, your never going to want to leave! Think they should buy him next summer and loan us him back for the season for the first team experience, they can have him when hes in his prime at 26
Looks like it has legs this rumour - papers say scouts are coming to watch him. Certainly wouldn't begrudge him a move there!
If there is genuine interest then I think Mahrez might try and engineer a move and no one could blame him.
Wouldn't need to - we aren't daft like West Brom and would keep a player here against his will. If Barca came knocking, we would give a price and negotiate.
... in all seriousness I would be asking north of £25 M if I was the club... Man Utd have just paid £34 M for Martial who has made only 2 appearances at full international level, probably both from the subs bench ... we don't NEED to sell and his 'worth' to us is easily that ...
When Arsenal were rumoured to be after him, someone said that he has a £30M release clause - would get them to pay that.
What a load of crap. We have played 4 games and yes,Mahrez has had an excellent start to the season (and long may it continue) but to start saying (probably) the best club side in the world want him, is just pure newspaper tosh!!! Just goes to show that all newspapers are full of sh**e!!!!
If he continues this kind of form one of Europes major forces will come in for him in January, we'd better get ready for that. If they do, should we stand in his way? I'm genuinely pricing him at £20m now, but I'd be gutted to see him leave, even for that money. It's a nice predicament to be faced with.
