Chelsea keeper Thibaut Courtois is reportedly “crazy” about the possibility of moving to Real Madrid during the coming summer transfer window. Spanish reports from OK Diario, claim that the Belgium international expects Los Blancos to make an offer for him at the end of the season and has even already told his teammates at Stamford Bridge about his desires to return to La Liga.
Courtois has been linked with a move to the Santiago Bernabeu in recent transfer windows after he enjoyed a successful three-season loan spell at Real Madrid neighbours rivals Atletico Madrid, helping Diego Simeone’s side conquer La Liga in 2013-2014 ahead of Barcelona and Los Blancos.
Courtois wants to leave the Premier League leaders Chelsea for the Spanish giants. He has been in fine form this season, helping the Blues establish a seven-point lead at the top of the Premier League table.
However, earlier in November, during an interview with COPE (via Europe Newsweek)themselves, the 24-year-old keeper assured that he had eventually never had any contact with Real Madrid. Madrid have been long-term admirers of De Gea and almost completed a deadline day swoop in August 2015 for the ace before paperwork problems prevented the deal from being completed.
He is even said to have enquired about enrolling his daughter in a Spanish school – hinting at a move away from Chelsea in the process.
