Roma chief Monchi has confirmed they're attempting to sign Leicester City winger Riyad Mahrez.

Roma have made multiple offers for the Algeria international this summer, but without any luck.

"As regards to Mahrez, the situation has not changed since the last press conference. I want to highlight two things," said Monchi.

"First, a squad like Roma's with players like Pellegrini, Nainggolan, Strootman, Dzeko, Kolarov and so on is not dependent on a right-winger coming in.

"Mahrez or not, an important player will arrive and give his quality to a magnificent squad."
