Leicester City manager Craig Shakespeare has moved to confirm that AS Roma have submitted an official proposal for star winger Riyad Mahrez.

The Algerian has reportedly emerged as a top target for the Italian giants, and the Foxes are prepared to let their key men leave if the price is right.

Leicester City boss Craig Shakespeare has revealed that the Giallorossi have sent a formal offer for Mahrez, but the proposal was rejected by the club.

“I think I was quoted on the last press day that there were no bids,” Shakespeare said at a press conference.

“There was a bid from Roma, I was told afterwards, so I would like to put the record straight on that one.

“It was politely declined on the basis that it was a low offer. Of what that offer is, don’t ask me how much because I don’t know and I don’t get involved in that.”

Riyad Mahrez is priced at 6/4 to join AS Roma in the summer transfer window, with Arsenal also reportedly in the mix.
