Man City sign Mahrez from Leicester

Manchester City have completed the signing of Riyad Mahrez from Leicester for £60 million (€68m/$80m).

The 27-year-old winger joins the Premier League champions on a five-year deal after the two sides reached an agreement.

Leicester have confirmed the deal is a club-record sale for one of the stars of their Premier League-winning campaign and subsequent journey to the Champions League quarter-finals.

“I am so pleased to have joined City, a side playing great football under Pep Guardiola,” Mahrez told the club's website.

“Watching them from afar has been a pleasure. Pep is committed to playing attacking football, which is a perfect for me, and City’s performances last season were outstanding.
