Another cracking press conference from CR yesterday, although felt the interview attached was quite revealing.
I don't think Claudio would be untruthful so believe him when he states there have been no offers, although his answer to the 'Is Riyad happy?' question was a bit doubtful.
Think this interview probably backs up the recent Guardian article; he ideally wants a move but will stay put for a year if forced to do so.
Just hope the club get a decent release clause into the new contract (£50m min) and that it doesn't kick in until 1 June 2017.
You never know , if we win the Champions League this season he may change his mind 😉
Sorry Arsenal fans, looks like reports of bids of £30,35 + 40m are complete tosh.

We haven't bid for him. Our most reliable source (Ornstein) jsaid a few days ago we won't pursue our interest in him. Other sources from within Leicester say he has agreed to stay with you.
Unfortunately this won't stop the media making up more stories so you'll have to deal with it for the next 20 days. And the Arsenal fans who beleive the story will end up dissapointed

Yep, believe he has probably 'agreed' to stay with us but fear it might be starting to become an arranged marriage! Time will tell.

Not many of the top teams are in need of a wide forward. None that I can think of. That might have something to do with it.
