Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois will wait until after the World Cup to make a decision about his future, but admitted he would like to spend more time with his children, sparking rumours of a transfer to Real Madrid, or even a return to Atletico Madrid.

"I love living in London. Madrid and London are great," Courtois said, after Belgium's win over Japan on Monday.

"The only thing is that my children live in Madrid. I would like them to be close. That doesn't mean I'm going to come back, but for me they are very important and I'm going to do something to see them more."

ASYD: Riyad Mahrez looks set to complete his long awaited move to Manchester City later this week.

Sky Sports News has learnt that Leicester will receive around £60m – some way short of their £80m asking price in January.

We believe that all major aspects of the deal have been agreed and barring any last minute hitches, the Algerian winger will undergo a medical in Manchester towards the end of this week.

The majority of Leicester’s players reported back for pre-season training yesterday. However, Mahrez and his Algerian team-mate Islam Slimani are not due back until next week, having played in an international friendly on June 7.

Southampton striker Guido Carillo will leave St Mary’s on loan in the next 24 hours after he was omitted from their pre-season tour of China, Sky Sports News understands.

The Argentinian forward wants to play regularly but does not figure in Mark Hughes’ first team plans and the 27-year old will move to La Liga club Leganes on loan either later today or tomorrow.

Carrillo joined Southampton from Monaco in January, in a £19m club-record deal. However, he failed to score in 10 appearances for manager Mauricio Pellegrino, who prioritised the signing of his fellow Argentine.

ad Gelson Martins:

The 23-year-old's agent has downplayed rumours linking the winger with a move to Sporting's arch rivals Benfica, leaving the door open to a move to the Premier League.

"Being the agent of Gelson Martins, I have as a top priority his tranquility, and maximum concentration to be able to do what he knows, professional football," agent Ulisses Santos wrote on Facebook.

"For this reason, and considering the sports media agenda has been very busy around his future, I come to inform you that Martins' next club will not be SL Benfica."
