As his, ahem "Agent", is the one and only Kia Joorabchian every possible penny will be bled from Leicester. That will no doubt be factored into the valuation.

The problem is Mahrez withdrawing his transfer request, in the full knowledge that he wouldn't get his bonus with it in place. I'd imagine the club will dig it's heels on on this one, no way they will want to be paying out a bonus for someone who has put in multiple transfer requests and gone missing for two weeks. He's forced the transfer, and those payments are there for those the club decides to cash in on and not someone forcing a move.
It might drag on, but I'd imagine the deal will go through and both City's will know that.
I imagine it'd be a bone of contention but one that lawyers can resolve based on the wording of the contract.
The only concern on the deal would be if Leicester revisited their valuation if they had to pay a hefty sum to the player as well.

Sorry mate you've had some good posts but this is just daft.
January:
Mahrez - I would like to leave Leicester.
Leicester - We refuse to sell you and expect you to honour your contract.
Mahrez - I don't like it but I respect that and withdraw the request.
July:
Mahrez - Please honour the stipulated clause in my contract.
Leicester - We will not honour the contract because you asked to leave before agreeing to stay and honour the contract.
Its ludicrous that your lot would spend all this time on their high horses about him being under contract and that he should adhere to that, and then when it comes times for you to also adhere to the contract decide not to. If you had no intention of paying him his loyalty bonus because he has submitted a request and then withdrawn it then that should have been excruciatingly clear in the contract itself ie: if at any time over the length of the contract the player issues a transfer request all future loyalty bonuses will be revoked for the remaining duration of the contract. If that wasn't made specifically clear in the contract, then you surely don't have a leg to stand on legally.
Not only that but it sets a shitty precedent for all of your other players who know their loyalty bonuses are worth precisely fuck all if they decide to withdraw a transfer request. So they may as well leave it open, kick up as much stink as they like and not return to the fold like Riyad did because your board will just try to spite them anyway.

Mahrez Actual, i'm not keen on this, please pass me my toys as i wish to throw them all in the Manchester Ship Canal. I'm going on strike now for two weeks and speaki g to no one except my mummy. You are not very nice Leicester.

I'm not suggesting its not a little bit cheeky of him, I'd probably be mardy too if I was a Leicester fan, but if there is anyone here who can honestly say they wouldn't fight tooth and nail for a bonus that they're entitled to then let them cast the first stone.

His going on strike has nothing to do with it, when he came back he was presumably punished by the club for that action. If that punishment involved forfeiting his loyalty payment then yeah fair cop, but if it didn't it has no effect on the previously agreed contract.
All I'm saying pal is its cut and dry one way or the other. Either it he has violated the terms of his contract and isn't entitled to it, or his actions have not violated the contract and he does get the bonus. If Kia is willing to throw a potentially huge pay day for himself into jeopardy I have to believe that Riyad is entitled to it, even if he you can argue he doesn't deserve it.
Legal contracts don't have 'but X party was being a total woman' allowance in them, if they did, if they did divorce would be much quicker and easier.
I agree inevitably the deal will go through or Leicester will lose money when he eventually moves on. I don't think multi millionaires do the whole losing 15 to 20 mill off sale value for the sake of principle. Further if he went missing for 2 weeks last season what do u reckon it will be like if this falls through. Both clubs in strong positions. Compromise very likely.I imagine it'd be a bone of contention but one that lawyers can resolve based on the wording of the contract.

Of course he only becomes 'entitled' to his loyalty (lol) bonus if there is a transfer.
If Leicester sold him & didn't pay him then he could take them to court but if they say 'either no bonus or no transfer' it could drag on all summer or until City sign someone else.

Even with your edits, I think the point still stands. Give him his money :)You missed a bit, so i've edited it to read correctly..
