Chelsea news: Liverpool to rival Real Madrid for Thibaut Courtois
That’s according to Gianluca Di Marzio, who say that Real Madrid are also keen on the Belgian.
Courtois’ Chelsea contract expires in 2019 and negotiations to extend his stay have proven less straightforward than the Blues had hoped.
That has alerted their Premier League rivals Liverpool, who are said to be on the look-out for a new No 1 with Simon Mignolet set to leave and Loris Karius in the spotlight after his disastrous display in their Champions League final defeat to Madrid.
And Di Marzio say that Chelsea are prepared to sell Courtois if a contract agreement cannot be reached so as to avoid losing the 26-year-old for nothing in 12 months’ time.
