Manchester City 'make final bid for Riyad Mahrez'

Manchester City have reportedly made a final offer of £65m for Leicester City's Riyad Mahrez.

Mahrez is believed to have handed in a transfer request on Tuesday night in a bid to force a move away from the King Power Stadium on deadline day.

The Algerian international has been strongly linked with City over the last 24 hours, and according to Sky Sports News, the Premier League leaders have made a final offer of £65m for the 26-year-old.

The report claims that the offer is a player-plus-cash deal, although the identity of the City individual in question is currently unclear.

Mahrez, who has a contract with Leicester until the summer of 2020, has scored eight times and registered seven assists in 24 Premier League appearances this season.
