Leicester star Riyad Mahrez is closing in on a £75million move to Premier League champions Manchester City, according to reports.

Mahrez was desperate to force through a move to the Etihad in January, with the winger subsequently going AWOL after a deal collapsed.

But according to the Mirror, Mahrez now appears to be getting his wish with City currently finalising his agent's fees ahead of the big-money move.

After taking Mahrez back into the fold following his 10-day absence since his January move fell through, Leicester are now prepared to let the Algerian leave.

The 27-year-old has enjoyed an incredible career at Leicester, winning the Premier League in 2016 as well as scoring 39 goals in 139 top flight matches.

Meanwhile, the Foxes want to sign City winger Patrick Roberts with negotiations running separately.

Despite winning the Premier League in record-breaking fashion last season - becoming the first team to break the 100-point barrier - Guardiola is desperate to add to his formidable City squad.

City have also offered £40m for Italy international Jorginho but Serie A side Napoli want closer to £60m.
