Chelsea were lining up the mega deal on deadline day and The Sun now claim the bid has been accepted.
One Twitter user shared an image of the Leicester winger in Paris this morning, but the current whereabouts of the 26-year-old are unconfirmed.
Mahrez had been tipped to join Arsenal or Barcelona today, while Manchester United also lodged late interest, but it seems Chelsea are at the head of the queue for the Foxes ace.
With Eden Hazard working his way back from injury and plenty of other attacking talent already at Stamford Bridge, manager Antonio Conte will have to shuffle his squad to fit Mahrez into a starting XI.
Scroll through the gallery above to see how Chelsea could line up if they sign Riyad Mahrez.
