The 25-year-old played an important role for Leicester City in their Premier League winning season. He also won the PFA player of the year award.
Mahrez has been eyed by several top sides in this summer transfer window but the club owner has now clearly told that their star player will stay.
Srivaddhanaprabha posted a picture on social media with a caption “VS: Not for sale. Mahrez: OK boss”.
The Algeria international forward has been targeted by Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger who has been looking for a double deal for Mahrez and Jamie Vardy.
His teammate Vardy was also in link with Arsenal but he clearly preferred to stay and hoped that Mahrez will also follow him.
While former Arsenal defender Lauren believes that Mahrez would be a great addition to Arsene Wenger side but the Gunners have Mesut Ozil, Jack Wilshere, Aaron Ramsey, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Theo Walcott.
