The Yellow and Reds may have to look elsewhere after their second bid for the Algeria international was discarded by the Foxes
AS Roma have seen their second bid of £32 million (€35million) for Leicester City winger Riyad Mahrez rejected by the former English champions, Goal understands.
The Italian outfit had been hopeful of signing the Algeria international at their second attempt, but that ambition has faded in thin air despite improving on their initial bid of £20m.
And despite the 26-year-old disclosing he wants to leave the King Power Stadium, Leicester City manager Craig Shakespeare insisted Mahrez would remain a Fox until the club received a suitable offer.
