Chelsea news: Sky Sports pundit Guillem Balague makes huge Thibaut Courtois transfer claim
That is according to Sky Sports pundit Guillem Balague.
Courtois has 18 months left on his Chelsea contract and has stalled on committing his future to the club.
The Belgian has been regularly linked with a move to Spain, where he previously spent three years at Atletico Madrid on loan.
Courtois also has family in Spain with his former girlfriend and two children living in Madrid.
Real Madrid are in the market for a new goalkeeper with Courtois and Manchester United’s David De Gea is on their shortlist.
