Speaking at the time, Mahrez said: "Out of the huge admiration and respect I hold for Leicester City, I wanted to be totally honest and transparent with them and have therefore informed the club that I feel now is the time for me to move on.
Riyad Mahrez ayaa yidhi: "La dhacsanaanta wayn iyo ixtiraamka aan u hayo kooxda kubbada cagta Leicester City waxaan doonayay in aan gabi ahaanba daacad ahaado oo aanan waxba iyaga ka qarin, sidaa daraadeed waxaan kooxda ku wargaliyay in hadda aan dareemayo in ay tahay waqtigii aan ka socon lahaa."
