Riyad Mahrez distances himself from Paris Saint-Germain links

Manchester City attacker Riyad Mahrez has distanced himself from suggestions that he could join Paris Saint-Germain.

The 29-year-old has scored once and provided one assist in seven appearances for City this season and still has two and a half years left to run on his contract at the Etihad Stadium.

There has been speculation surrounding the Algeria international's future in recent weeks, though, with Real Madrid said to be admirers of his talents.

A report in France recently claimed that Mahrez had told Canal+ that he would be open to joining the French champions if they were to make a move.

However, the attacker, who has started four of his side's five Premier League matches this season, has told City Xtra that the quotes are 'fake'.

Mahrez moved to the Etihad Stadium from Leicester City in the summer of 2018.
