Leicester City star Riyad Mahrez has been a prominent figure in the transfer gossip pages over the last few windows.
The Algerian international is likely to be regularly mentioned this summer as well, and it seems that Manchester City fans are keeping a close eye on the situation.
Last summer, the Cityzens failed to land Mahrez in the January transfer window due to Leicester’s unwillingness to sell, and now supporters have spotted an opening.
The Express reports that the Foxes, as well as West Ham United, plan to move for City’s Patrick Roberts when his loan spell at Celtic comes to an end.

The 21-year-old winger joined the North-West outfit from Fulham in 2015, but is yet to force his way into Pep Guardiola’s team.
Fans believe that the newly-crowned Premier League champions should try to get Mahrez as part of the deal.
The publication claims that Roberts is rated at around £15m, while Transfermarkt have worked out a figure of £45m for Mahrez.
It is highly unlikely that Leicester would agree to a straight swap due to the vast difference in valuation, but that has not stopped City supporters from hoping.
