Leicester City reportedly offer Riyad Mahrez a new contract worth £100,000 a week.

Leicester City have reportedly put a £100,000-a-week contract on the table for in-demand winger Riyad Mahrez.

The PFA Player of the Year was a pivotal part of the Foxes' historic Premier League title-winning campaign having contributed 17 goals.

As expected, the 25-year-old has been linked to other clubs, including Arsenal and Barcelona, but Leicester are desperate to keep hold of one of their star players, particularly as both Jamie Vardy and N'Golo Kante are the subject of transfer rumours.

According to The Telegraph, Leicester are confident that the new deal will convince Mahrez to stay for at least another season, particularly as the club have Champions League football to offer.

The player himself, though, recently admitted that moving to another club this summer is a 'possibility'.

The report adds that Leicester will only consider bids in the region of £30m for Mahrez.
