Riyad Mahrez: It would be hard to resist a Barcelona move

Riyad Mahrez says he would find it difficult to reject Barcelona if they came calling for him. 

"It would be hard to say no to Barcelona," said Mahrez in an interview with France Football. He also hinted he would also sign for Real Madrid if the option was there. 

"When there is a Brazilian who is lighting things up, he is at Real Madrid before you know it! For us, it is a little harder, we have to do more," he said. 

"It (the Premier League) is a super league and I would like to stay here as long as possible. But now there are two or three clubs in the world that if they come for me it definitely makes you think, if you understand what I am trying to say."

Mahrez also explained that Messi "congratulated me" for winning the player of the year award in the Premier League, when Barcelona played Leicester in a pre-season friendly.
