Leicester: Liverpool won’t let go of Riyadh Mahrez

Riyad Mahrez: Barcelona and Liverpool in Battle for the Algerian Star

FC Barcelona’s long-standing interest in Riyad Mahrez has resurfaced. The Algerian international, who once came close to joining the Catalan giants, remains on their radar as the club looks to strengthen its attacking options for next season. Reports suggest that Barça are prepared to make a significant offer, estimated between €35 and €40 million, to secure the Leicester City winger.

However, Barcelona are not alone in the race. Liverpool, led by Jürgen Klopp, are also keen on bringing Mahrez to Anfield. The German coach, impressed by Mahrez’s creativity and technical ability, believes the Algerian could provide the spark and width needed in Liverpool’s attacking setup.

Mahrez, crowned English Premier League champion with Leicester City, has established himself as one of Europe’s most skillful and influential wingers. His pace, dribbling, and eye for goal have made him a highly sought-after player across the continent.

As both clubs prepare to reinforce their squads for the upcoming campaign, Mahrez finds himself at the center of renewed transfer speculation — a testament to his enduring talent and consistency at the highest level.
