Riyad Mahrez keen on forcing move to Roma?

Leicester City winger Riyad Mahrez is keen on a move to Italian side Roma, according to a report.

The Algerian international had looked set on a transfer to Manchester City in January, before the Sky Blues backed away from a deal during the final days of the window.

The controversy led to Mahrez being absent from Leicester's training ground for a number of days, but the playmaker finally returned to Premier League action in February, before going on to score a vital equaliser for the Foxes against Bournemouth.

According to Corriere dello Sport, Mahrez is keen on forcing through a move to Roma this summer, but it is thought that the two clubs are yet to agree a deal for the 27-year-old.

Mahrez has so far bagged nine goals in 27 Premier League appearances this term.
