A statement was released from the Algerian FA which said the following.
Roma had three bids turned down by the Foxes earlier in the window, while Mahrez has been linked with a move to Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United and Barcelona as his future could become the main topic of debate between now and 6 p.m. ET when the summer transfer window closes.
The mercurial winger was named the PFA Player of the Year in 2015-16 as Leicester won the Premier League title.
Mahrez released a statement at the start of this summer saying he wanted to leave the King Power Stadium but heading into the final hours of the window Leicester have reportedly received no fresh bids as he looks to force through a move.
