Jose Mourinho is ready to let transfer target Thibaut Courtois take the Chelsea no. 1 spot ahead of Petr Cech next season.
Spanish newspaper El Confidencial reports Mourinho is willing to make the call, as Courtois is open to a move if it means playing second-fiddle to Cech following three successful seasons on-loan at Atletico Madrid.
His Chelsea future remains in the air with 2 years remaining on his contract, and he is attracting interest from some top clubs around Europe. But The Blues are keen to keep hold of the highly-rated Belgian, currently regarded as one of the best shot stoppers in world football.
However, Mourinho knows that he will only stay if guarenteed a chance in the Starting XI ahead of Cech, and with a recent dip in Cech’s form this season, rumours of him leaving have also began to circulate.
