"Leicester City" set R. Mahrez's price

"Leicester City" hopes to keep the remaining leaders of last season in their ranks, including the country's forward Riyad Mahrez.

It has been reported earlier that the 25-year-old Algerian is being eyed by London's "Arsenal," "Chelsea," and "Barcelona" clubs.

However, the "Foxes" have set a £45 million release clause and believe it will deter potential buyers.

In the last "Premier League" season, Mahrez scored 17 goals in 37 matches.

It is worth noting that during the offseason, Leicester lost midfielder N'Golo Kante, but the team debuting in the Champions League managed to keep striker Jamie Vardy, who rejected Arsenal's offer and signed a new contract.
