A report claims that Leicester City want £45m for the 2015-16 Premier League Player of the Year Riyad Mahrez.

Leicester City have reportedly placed a £45m transfer value on Algerian winger Riyad Mahrez.

The 25-year-old's performances during Leicester's title-winning campaign last season saw him named the PFA Player of the Year, just two years after joining from Le Havre.

In all, Mahrez netted 18 goals and provided 11 assists in 40 appearances for the Foxes last term and a recent report claimed that Chelsea wanted to raid the Foxes for a second time this summer following the signing of N'Golo Kante.

According to The Telegraph, Premier League champions Leicester do not want to sell the attacker, but will consider offers in the region of £45m.

Mahrez, who is contracted to Leicester until the summer of 2019, has also been linked with moves to Barcelona and Real Madrid this summer.
