Mahrez Threatens To Quit Manchester City

Algerian star Riyad Mahrez is threatening to quit Manchester City if he does not receive more playing time, according to the Daily Mail.

 

Mahrez has grown frustrated by his lack of playing time this season, as he's made just 13 starts in the Premier League this term.

 

He believes his talent makes him worthy of more time and has complained to that end, only to find himself an unused substitute in the club's last three games.

 

Manchester United's foreign players are frustrated with perceived preferential treatment in favour of the club's English stars, according to the Sun.

 

English defenders Ashley Young, Chris Smalling, Phil Jones and Luke Shaw have all agreed new contracts this season.

 

Meanwhile, Ander Herrera, David de Gea and Juan Mata have yet to come to terms while Ecuador full-back Antonio Valencia is set to elave this summer.

 

Chelsea are set to rival Manchester United for Barcelona's Philippe Coutinho, in the event Eden Hazard leaves the club, says The Dail Mirror.

 

Coutinho has failed to settle at Barcelona since his move from Liverpool in January 2018, and Hazard has long been rumoured to be heading to Madrid.

 

Coutinho apparently angered some sections of the Barcelona support when he celebarated his Champions League goal by cupping his ears towards the Camp Nou crowd.

 

Any business for Chelsea will be dependant on them overturning a two-year transfer ban imposed by UEFA.

Cristiano Ronaldo would like to see his fellow Portugal international, and Jorge Mendes client, join him with the Bianconeri.

 

AS reports that Ronaldo has recommended that Juve sign the 19-year-old, though they face stiff competition and a hefty price tag.

 

Benfica have set a €120m release clause for the attacking midfielder, and Manchester City, Manchester United, Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid and Barcelona all being linked with Felix.

 

The youngster has bagged 13 goals and seven assists in just 21 games in the Portuguese top-flight this year.
