Barcelona plan summer move for wing wizard

 

Barcelona are plotting a summer swoop for Leicester star Riyad Mahrez, reports the Sunday Mirror.

 

Leicester are bracing themselves for a hotbed of interest in their Algerian star, who has excelled for the Foxes in their surprise title pursuit.

 

Mahrez has a better WhoScored rating (7.90) than any other Premier League player this season, with his performances understandably attracting interest from across the continent.

 

Leicester are planning contracts talks with the 24-year-old, despite Mahrez penning a new four-year deal last summer, but will struggle to reject the advances of the European champions.

 

Mahrez supposedly has his heart set on a move to Camp Nou, despite not being given assurances he would be a first team regular in Spain.

They do, however, face competition from Arsenal and Chelsea for Mahrez, who has won seven WhoScored man of the match awards this season.
