Major blow for Conte; World class Chelsea star informs friends of transfer desire, Real Madrid move close - originally posted on Sportslens.com
Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is expected to complete a permanent transfer to Real Madrid at the end of this season.
As per the latest reports, Courtois has already informed his teammates and friends of his desire to join Real Madrid. Los Blancos have already discussed a potential transfer with the Belgian international. The report adds that a permanent transfer is close although Roman Abramovich is not keen on letting one Chelsea’s players leave.
The 24-year-old was a major hit at Atletico Madrid and the Spanish giants have identified him as their long-term solution for the goalkeeping position. Navas has been outstanding since the departure of Casillas, but the Costa Rican already 30 and simply not as good as Courtois.
After a poor season under Mourinho, Courtois is now back to his best and would be a fantastic addition for Los Blancos. The reduction of the transfer ban earlier this week will finally allow the La Liga giants to land their marquee target.
There is no doubt that the Belgian will cost Real Madrid a lot of money even if they persuade the Blues to sell. Having said that, Real Madrid certainly have the resources to make the move happen.
