Who should replace Riyad Mahrez?

Sané would be amazing, a big name statement signing, with unfinished business here and a similar level to Mahrez albeit a different kind of winger.

Unfortunately it doesn’t seem like we have any interest at all in bringing him back.

Whoever we sign it has to be someone at least as good as Mahrez in terms of goals and assists, otherwise it’ll be a weaker team and we’ll reduce our chances of winning stuff. Definitely not Palmer or Bobb, nowhere near good enough yet.
 
One lesson I've learned from the results of these past few years is that a team may not always find the perfect fit when they need it, but as long as they remain patient, they will eventually discover the most reasonable solution. Initially, we didn't sign a suitable replacement for Kompany, which led to paying the price of losing titles in subsequent seasons. However, in the end, we acquired Ruben Dias, who helped us achieve historic results in the following years. We also didn't sign a player to directly replace Fernandinho (even though he was still with the team at the time), but later, we got Rodri. The same situation happened with David Silva and Aguero. Fortunately, we managed to bring Haaland back home, even though it meant playing a season without a striker. Then, in the absence of Silva, we developed Foden and brought in Grealish. They are completely different types of players compared to David Silva, but they succeeded in helping the team create historic achievements after his departure.

With my limited knowledge, I'm unsure who can directly replace Mahrez now, and I don't believe there's someone who can truly do that. Therefore, I think the team will solve this issue in a different way or find the answer at a more suitable time. After all, what matters most is doing the right thing, not just doing it quickly.
 
Leroy, Chiesa, Gnabry, Cherki, plenty of options out there but we defo need to replace Mahrez
 
I think it will be Cancelo and there is no coincidence he has been fully involved with the preseason prep. If Pep didn’t want him he would be nowhere near the Asian tour. He’s changed Stones into a defensive mid, Cancelo with his control and ability to thread a pass could easily be converted into where Mahrez played or move onto the other side for Grealish if needs be.
