Mark Schwarzer believes Chelsea wil offer Courtois a new deal to keep the highly rated goalkeeper.
The belgian has spent 3 seasons on loan in Madrid and produced an impossible save as Athletico beat Chelsea 3-1 on aggreggate to progress to the champion league final. He has forged a reputation of being one of the finest shot stoppers in Europe and Schwarzer believes he has a bright future ahead of him.
“He did very well and it was no surprise that Chelsea signed him and want to keep him at the club. I wouldn’t be surprised if they give him a new deal,” Schwarzer was quoted as saying by Spanish paper Marca.
“He is very special and it is no surprise that Chelsea signed him a couple of years ago. There has been a lot spoken about him and he has been outstanding. He was outstanding [against Chelsea] and he has a huge, huge career ahead of him.
“He’s had a fantastic season, as has Atletico. They’re top of La Liga and vying to win the championship and now the Champions League final too.”
Schwarzer however admits the blues have a though desicion to make – Courtois or Cech as their nimber 1?
“It’s a very tough decision and I’m glad I’m not the one that has to make it.
“I don’t have a clue what they will decide on. They are both world-class keepers. I wouldn’t even say they are at different ends of their careers because Pete still has a long way to go in his. He can improve at 31.”
