Riyad Marrez refuses to commit his future to Leicester City ahead of what could be another turbulent transfer window for the attacker.

Riyad Mahrez has refused to commit his future to Leicester City ahead of what could be another turbulent transfer window for the Algerian international.

Mahrez went AWOL from training and indeed matches in the early stages of February after Leicester refused to sell him to Manchester City in the latter stages of the January transfer window.

The 27-year-old did eventually return to action for the Foxes, and has appeared to confirm that he has withdrawn the transfer request that he submitted in the early stages of 2018.

Mahrez's future at the King Power Stadium is still far from certain, however, with the attacker revealing that anything could happen at the end of the 2017-18 campaign.

"It has gone. It was in January, it's another transfer window. I am still here - I don't want to put a lot of things in my head," Mahrez told Sky Sports News. "I am still in contract with Leicester so at the moment I am here and we will see."

"At that time I handed a transfer [request] because I had offers from Manchester City so obviously I wanted to go. But now I am still at Leicester. With me, especially, you never know what is happening.

"Every time I have to go but I am still here. I don't really want to talk about [whether] I am going, or staying. I just want to finish the last three games. We will see what will happen for me."

Mahrez, who has a contract at Leicester until the summer of 2020, has scored 11 times and registered 11 assists in 38 appearances for his English club this season.
