Riyad Mahrez failed to report for Leicester City training again on Thursday, a day after a move to Manchester City failed to materialise.
The forward was the subject of multiple offers from the Premier League leaders, with the last of those understood to be a player-plus-cash offer worth an estimated £65m.
Leicester valued the Algeria international much nearer £95m and talks broke down with Man City unwilling to go further than what turned out to be their final bid.
Mahrez put in another transfer request in the days running up to Deadline Day, and was not at training on Friday last week, meaning he was not part of the Leicester squad for Wednesday’s 2-1 defeat at Everton.
Mahrez was said to have been left “depressed” by Leicester’s decision not to accept City’s final offer for him.
Mahrez is understood to have told Leicester his emotional state is not strong enough to play football at the moment. – Sky Sports.
