Leicester City reportedly want Manchester City to include forward Patrick Roberts plus £60m cash in exchange for Riyad Mahrez.

Leicester City have reportedly asked for Manchester City to include forward Patrick Roberts plus £60m cash in exchange for Riyad Mahrez.

The Algeria international scored 12 goals and set up 10 more in the Premier League last season, having also directly contributed to 37 goals in the previous two campaigns.

Man City were believed to be on the verge of a £60m deal for Mahrez in January but Leicester held firm on deadline day, after which the player missed several Foxes games.

According to The Telegraph, Leicester are now planning for next season without the former PFA Player of the Year and are in talks with Man City over a possible sale.

The report claims that Roberts, the England Under-20 international who has been on loan at Celtic for the 18 months, is expected to head to the King Power Stadium as Mahrez goes in the opposite direction.

Roberts, who is thought to be valued at £15m, currently has two years remaining on his contract at the Etihad Stadium.
