Thibaut Courtois in talks over new Chelsea deal but admits agent will ‘listen’ to Real Madrid interest
Belgian international, 25, is out of contract in summer 2019 and doubts have increased over if he will sign an extension with the Blues
THIBAUT COURTOIS has revealed he is in talks over a new Chelsea deal but his agent will 'listen' to Real Madrid offers.
The Belgian international, 25, is out of contract in summer 2019 and doubts have increased over if he will sign an extension with the Blues.
Real Madrid have been consistently linked with a move for Courtois — who admitted his heart was in the Spanish capital — and admitted his representatives will talk to the La Liga giants.
Courtois said: "I’m not clear about my future, what I said that my heart is in Madrid was misunderstood.
"I have two children in Spain, in Madrid, and that’s not easy. I have one year left (here) and I’m happy and talking to Chelsea.
"They have bet on me from the first moment and that is not forgotten.
"I do not think Florentino Perez calls me, he will call my agent and he will listen to him."
Courtois played a pivotel role in Chelsea earning a 1-1 draw against Barcelona in the Champions League last night.

But the thought of moving back to Madrid, where he spent three years with Atletico, could be too much to resist.
Real are reportedly on the hunt for a new keeper as they want to replace Keylor Navos next season.
