According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Real Madrid are expected to make a huge £73m bid for Chelsea’s exceptional young goalkeeper, Thibaut Courtois.
Last year, the Belgian international signed a five-year-deal at Stamford Bridge, in a season where he kept experienced shot stopper Petr Cech out of the Premier League winners’ side.
However, it is rumoured he is to be one of new Madrid boss Rafael Benitez’s transfer targets this summer, as he looks to bring depth to Los Blancos.
In 2011, the 23-year-old signed for the Blues from Belgian side Genk – and went on loan to Spanish giants Atletico Madrid for three years.
Jose Mourinho made it crystal clear that he has no intent in selling his key players, but could be tempted by the price of that huge sum being offered by Madrid.
