3) Riyad Mahrez to Barcelona
From playing in the French Ligue 2 to winning the English Premier League and then being linked with Barcelona—what a turn of fortune he has had.
The left-footed attacker was voted as the best player of the league this season—and rightfully so. His performances played a huge role in Leicester’s unexpected title glory and it hasn’t gone unnoticed as some of the biggest clubs in Europe are keeping a close eye on him.
And Barca’s name is the one that is being thrown around the most.
His sizzling style of play makes him the perfect substitute for Lionel Messi. However, whether he would like to be on the bench after an award-winning season remains to be seen.
Also, Hatem Ben Arfa—a player that is really similar to the Algerian—is apparently very close to joining the Catalans on a free transfer, making the probability of this move very little.
