Thibaut Courtois close to signing a new deal

Thibaut Courtois has indicated today that he is willing to commit his future with Chelsea and sign a new deal in the coming days. The custodian was linked with a move to Real Madrid in the past few weeks after it emerged of his inclination towards a return back to Spain.

Speaking with the Evening Standard, Courtois has now revealed, "I'm happy at Chelsea and a deal is close. Has it been a distraction? Not for me. I'm just calm and relaxed because I'm tied to Chelsea. Despite the rumours and everything, I am focused on Chelsea and I'm happy here."

Jose Mourinho happy at Manchester United

The Special One has rubbished his Manchester United exit talks and insisted that he wants to stay with the Red Devils beyond his current deal.

Mourinho has been linked with the job at Paris Saint-Germain after the Portuguese's latest rants about his side's spending issues and that of Manchester City's.

Whether the board wants Mourinho to stay beyond this season remains to be the bigger question.
