Roma end Mahrez chase, Leicester still resisting Drinkwater move

AS Roma have ended their pursuit of Leicester City winger Riyad Mahrez.

The Serie A side made three separate bids for the 26-year-old, but failed to meet the Foxes’ £50 million valuation of the player.

Roma will now try to sign Barcelona’s Munir El Haddadi after giving up on Mahrez, according to Sky Sports.

La Gazzetta dello Sport have reported that Roma’s sporting director Monchi wants Munir, but he may be forced to wait until Barcelona secure a replacement for Neymar.

Leicester have resisted numerous offers for their top players this summer, with midfielder Danny Drinkwater amongst the names coveted by other teams.
