According to reports in Spain (picked up my Talksport and Leicester Mercury) Barcelona are interested in making a move for Mahrez in the January transfer window.
I can understand why they might want him, but honestly what would be in it for him? At this stage of his career he should be looking forwards and he must surely view such a move as a backward step?
Come on now, The Camp Nou or The King Power? What is there to decide?
Mahrez to Barcelona. Why would he?

So being English would mean he's worth more to a Spanish club? Not likely!
Sterling scored 18 in 95 games for Liverpool, Mahrez has scored 11 in 53 for us, including 4 in 4 this season or 6 in the last 7 PL games.

Comparing a 20 year old to a 24 year old is quite a jump. Especially when you take away his last 7 games.
Not saying he isn't a good player but anyone spending over the £15/20m is taking a massive gamble.

Id never heard of the guy before his few goals this season

As per Southampton's million pound exports? Who had ever heard of any of them and they're all £25m+.
Suppose it depends on the next 34 games because they're far more important than what he did last season when he was still settling into PL football. This season will be the one to compare.

Perhaps the question should be:
"Mahrez to Barcelona. Why wouldn't he?"

Adam bleeding Lallana for a start
Mahrez is a much better player than Lallana and he was £25m. No way was he worth that or Chambers or Shaw, all a waste of money!

Mahrez is probably on a par with Messi but I can't see how he would ever think a move to Barca would be good for him.
His prospects of success are much higher with us, and our kit and curry is better.
Nothing in this. Home are the days teams like Barcelona could tempt our players away.

I agree Mersey - there really is nothing in it for me.
They've got Gaudi's basilica, we've got St George's Tower.
They've got the Magic Fountain, we've got the Hypodermic Fountain in Town Hall Square.
They've got the Picasso Museum, we've got the graffiti around the back of the public bogs in Braunstone.
I could go on, but if Riyad is reading this I'm sure he's already realised by now that Leicester really is the superior of the two cities.
I mean, who likes tapas anyway?

Just read that Mahrez is top of the performance charts with 257 points, second is Kolorov on 227 points. He also has an average of 8.45.
