Manchester United, Tottenham and FC Barcelona to fight over £25m-rated Leicester City hero

Manchester United, Tottenham and FC Barcelona are all interested in signing Algeria international Riyad Mahrez this summer, according to the Daily Mirror.

The Premier League duo; who currently sit fifth and second in the English top-flight standings respectively, meanwhile Barca occupy top spot in Spain’s La Liga, have all been thoroughly impressed by the Leicester City forward’s scintillating performances throughout the entire 2015-16 campaign.

The 25-year-old, who has 24 international caps for his country, has scored a remarkable 17 goals and provided 10 further assists in 33 appearances in all competitions for the Premier League’s surprise league leaders this season.

Mahrez, who cost the Foxes a bargain £400,000 from French club Le Havre back in 2014, is thought to be valued at around the £25m mark.

The report suggests that Claudio Ranieri’s side fear they will lose one of either Mahrez or fellow midfielder N’Golo Kante later this year, who has also starred this term since last summer’s switch from Caen.
