Its being widely reported that Man City are planning 60 million pound bid for Leicester City winger Mahrez.
Do I believe this story.......NO!!
Manchester City lost influential winger Leroy Sane at the weekend during the FA Cup game with Cardiff City. Sane is rumoured to be out for around 6 weeks with the ankle injury and city are apparently looking to bring in Mahrez as a replacement.
The reason that I don't believe this story is because Mahrez is not the kind of winger that will fit into Man City's style of play. Mahrez is more of an technical player that likes to play clever passes and link the play even though he plays on the wing. The way that city play uses their wingers pace and power which Mahrez doesn't have as its not his strong point.
Also to pay £60M on a last minute replacement wouldn't make sense as they could've got Sanchez for half that, who is a much better all round player than Mahrez.
Mahrez is not a pure winger !
Man city wont bid for him. Am very sure of that
Even though Mahrez is a great player in his own right, i also do not think he will fit into the City squad. However saying this, there is a reason they call it a panic buy. In my opininon i think a player like Inaki Williams from Bilboa will probably suit them better.
