Manchester City FC transfer news: Pep Guardiola lining up new move for Leicester star Riyad Mahrez

Manchester City are expected to revive their interest in Riyad Mahrez when the transfer window reopens in the summer.

The Premier League champions tried to land the Leicester City winger in January but saw a £65million offer rejected by the Foxes.

Mahrez slapped in a transfer request in a bid to force through the move and went AWOL for ten days after he was denied to chance to join Pep Guardiola's side.

The 27-year-old has since returned to action for Leicester and has withdrawn his transfer reques - but he has refused to commit his future to the club beyond this season.
