La Liga giants turn to Chelsea’s Thibaut Courtois

Real Madrid will turn their attentions to Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois should they once again fail to land David De Gea.

The La Liga giants were on the brink of signing the Manchester United goalkeeper last summer, but due to paperwork issues, the deal collapsed at the last minute on Transfer Deadline Day.

After knowing he was staying at Old Trafford, De Gea then agreed a new deal at the club. However, that hasn’t stopped Madrid from still being interested in signing him.

It’s expected another formal bid will be launched this summer for the Spaniard, but should they fail in their pursuit, they will turn their attentions to Courtois.

The Belgian has experienced Madrid before, spending three years on loan with Atletico, and he is reportedly eyeing up a return to Spain following a disappointing campaign with the Blues.

Chelsea will be absent from the Champions League next season following their below-par campaign, and that could spark a mass exodus throughout the summer, and Courtois is one being linked with a move away.

The ‘keeper hasn’t been at his best this season, making several errors in recent weeks, but that hasn’t stopped Madrid from showing interest in him.

The 23-year-old still has three years left on his Chelsea contract, meaning the Spanish side would have to cough up in order to convince Chelsea to sell.
