Man City face battle to keep hold of Mahrez as Real Madrid keen

Manchester City attacker Riyad Mahrez is attracting fresh transfer interest.

Currently contracted to City to 2023, Mahrez has intimated he is happy at the champions and in England.

But the Telegraph says enquiries are arriving from across Europe for the Algeria international. PSG, Barcelona and Real Madrid, where coach Zinedine Zidane is a fan, are all keen.

Last week, Mahrez said: “End my career at OM? No frankly, it's not something I tell myself. I feel very good in England, I really want to end my career here, and moreover in City.

"It is not something that I envision."
