Belgian newspaper HLN have reported that Real Madrid have already sealed the deal for Chelsea custodian Thibaut Courtois. With reports emerging that Liverpool have agreed a deal with AS Roma for Alisson Becker, Madrid had to make the move quickly as Courtois is a pretty wanted man. The Belgian’s contract expires next summer and Chelsea were always likely to sell him considering he wasn’t going to extend his stay at Stamford Bridge.
Courtois recently won the Golden Glove in the World Cup for his distinguished displays in goal and has already played in the Spanish top flight with Real Madrid’s arch-rivals Atletico Madrid. So, there won’t be too many happy Atleti fans if he does indeed join Los Blancos.
