Yes, I’ve read that. All to do with him him wanting loyalty bonus, and them telling him him to “get lost” apparently. Said we had a similar situation, in 2013, with Ferna (who, supposedly forgoed £4 million to move here).
It’s obvious that Mahrez (& his agent) will both earn more money, if they’re prepared to wait a year and allow his contract to run down.
There’s no doubting the lad’s quality, so, I hope, (unlike with Sanchez) that ambition will eventually triumph over greed.
After all, losing out on said loyalty bonus, isn’t, in his case at least, likely to see him forced out onto the streets to sell the big issue is it
