Riyad Mahrez appears set to stay with Leicester City after manager Claudio Ranieri claimed his star playmaker remains happy at the Premier League champions.
PFA Players' Player of the Year Mahrez was instrumental in the Foxes astonishing title triumph last season, scoring 17 goals and assisting 10 more.
Top scorer Jamie Vardy was quick to shun advances from Arsenal and sign fresh terms with Leicester, but midfield powerhouse N'Golo Kante left for Chelsea last week in a reported £32million deal.
Figures of £45m had been quoted for Mahrez, who has apparently attracted interest from the likes of Barcelona, as well as Arsenal and Chelsea.
"I think everybody here are happy and then, it's finished. The market is finished," he told Sky Sports News.
Pressed on Mahrez's specific future, the Italian beamed: "Yes, he wants to stay."
