Roma sporting director, Monchi has revealed that the club is
willing to raise their bid for the Leicester City winger, Riyad Mahrez to €40m.
The Giallorossi are looking to sign a winger this summer,
and have been pursuing the Algerian International for several weeks.
Bids of €30m and €35m were knocked back by the Foxes, and
sporting director, Monchi hinted yesterday that the Lupi would consider raising
their offer.
“I’m satisfied with the effort the club has made to sign the
player,” the Spaniard said yesterday.
“I don’t think any other club has bid over €30m, as Roma
did.
“The player expressed what he wants publicly, but it’s right
that we respect his club.
“In the end everything comes down to whether or not
Leicester want to sell the player.”
According to Sky, Roma are determined to sign Mahrez, who
wants to speak to them, and will raise their offer to €40m.
