Real Madrid have reached an agreement with Chelsea worth £31m for goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.And the Belgium international, who was awarded the Golden Glove at the World Cup, will apparently head to the Bernabeu on a four-year deal. Courtois has just one year remaining on his current Chelsea contract. No new deal appears likely with the 26-year-old former Atletico Madrid shot-stopper keen to return to Spain’s capital.As the Blues face losing their star keeper for free in 2019, it means Real do not have to pay over the odds this summer.
A £31m deal is said to have been agreed, and Courtois could be joined by international and club team-mate Eden Hazard at Real.reports has it that the European champions are also pursuing Chelsea’s talented forward following Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure to Juventus.And there is claimed to be a verbal agreement between Hazard and Real chiefs he would sign too.There is no fee sorted between Chelsea and Real at this stage, though.But Hazard’s wish is to head for the Bernabeu, where he could well team up with Courtois for the 2019/19 campaign.
