Riyad Mahrez seems to have dropped a little hint that he’d be keen on a summer move over to Chelsea
Maybe, He’s not the only one, another Chelsea target was seen celebrating Blues title win as well.
Mahrez was heavily linked with a switch to Chelsea last summer but a move never happened, with the winger deciding to stay with Leicester for their first Champions League campaign.
A conversation with Leicester team-mate Islam Slimani was picked up on camera, which has sparked speculation that Mahrez would be keen for a move away.
The two were heard talking about the just crowned Premier League champions in the build-up to Leicester’s 2-1 defeat at Manchester City, with the Algerian saying Antonio Conte’s side as a ‘real club’.
After hearing Slimani talk up the Blues, Mahrez responded with high praise and what could be interpreted as a swipe at his current club.
Slimani said: ‘Hey, Chelsea are champions!’
To which Mahrez replied: ‘They’re an incredible club.
‘A real club.’
