Manchester City are looking to extend Riyad Mahrez’s contract after his finest season at the club to date.
Sportsmail understands the Premier League champions are opening talks with the 31-year-old, who has entered the final 12 months of his existing deal.
Mahrez finished the campaign as City’s top scorer in all competitions with 24 goals – his best return since a £60million switch from Leicester City.
Initial discussions have been positive and there is an expectation that Mahrez will commit his future.
