English striker Riyad Mahrez could make his comeback in the English championship.
What if Riyad Mahrez returned this winter to the club where he exploded? The possibility would be real if we are to believe what the British daily The Daily Mail reports. The captain of the Algerian selection is in Leicester’s sights.
According to this source, the Foxes want to give themselves the maximum chance of remaining among the English elite. That’s why they plan to bring back their former star. And they don’t intend to be satisfied with this reinforcement alone. N’Golo Kanté also appears on their shelves.
Mahrez and Kanté reunited again?
Mahrez and Kanté were the main architects of Leicester’s English title in 2016. Seeing the duo return to the King Power Stadium would bring back wonderful memories and prove that there is still romance in football. However, we should not put the cart before the horse. The pair now play in Saudi Arabia and benefit from very advantageous salary conditions. A return to Leicester would require a big financial sacrifice on their part.
Mahrez and Kanté have the commonality of wanting to play in the 2026 World Cup. This common sporting objective could perhaps encourage them to return to a more competitive championship. Hope therefore remains for the Foxes.
