Leicester City supporters already dreading the departure of their Big Three of Jamie Vardy, N'Golo Kante, and PFA Player of the Year Riyad Mahrez might be more concerned after a Saturday interview with the latter didn't exactly stifle speculation about a potential high-profile summer move.

Paris-born Mahrez was home speaking with Foot Mercato TV as part of Euro 2016 festivities, and the playmaker appeared uncertain about his future at the Premier League champ.

"Leicester is a family club and I would quite like staying here. I'm happy," Mahrez said.

While that may temper the fears and unease of Foxes fans, his next quote was rife with uncertainty.

"I have yet to decide on my future. We'll see. It's possible that I leave, and it's possible that I'll stay. We'll see."

Mahrez joined Leicester two summers ago from French talent incubator Le Havre.
