Chelsea are expected to receive a second bid for Thibaut Courtois this summer from Real Madrid as revealed by top pundit in La Liga.
Okdiario’s chief pundit, Eduardo Inda, told El Chiringuito that Real Madrid are readying a substantial amount to table for the capture of long term target Thibaut Courtois.
“Another one that is much closer is Courtois. Real Madrid first offered €35m. Chelsea asked €50m and now Madrid is going to offer €40m fixed and nine more in objectives.
What Florentino says is that he is a good goalkeeper but is not as good as the price being asked.”

It has been the worst kept secret that Real Madrid are chasing Courtois to replace Keylor Navas after the Costa Rica international failed to convince the top hierarchy of the Los Blancos that he should be the man to remain between the sticks at the Santiago Bernabeu for the years to come.
Courtois has age to his side and his contract situation at Chelsea is not helping the Blues. Despite having a contract renewal offer on the table, Courtois has been reluctant to tie his future to the Blues and has at times made comments to signal his wish to return to Madrid after his stint with Atletico Madrid.
Real President Florentino Perez has other options in mind as Goal reports that Real have scouted him this season as an alternative to Courtois.
