Deal Close! Chelsea Superstar has stated clearly he wants to join Real Madrid – report

Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has stated clearly that he wants to join Spanish La Liga giant Real Madrid from Chelsea, as per reports emanating from Spain.

Spanish publication Marca is claiming that Blues’s board are fully in the know that the Belgian wants to sign for Real Madrid, with his current Chelsea deal due to expire in the summer of 2019.

The same publication claim that Chelsea hierarchy knows that Thibaut Courtois wants to sign for the reigning European Champions as a top priority and that he is holding out for a transfer to The Santiago Bernabeu.
