By news-admin
DBasia.news – Real Madrid is getting closer to get Thibaut Courtois from Chelsea. The Belgium player will cover El Real weakness in keeper position.
Real Madrid was interested in Courtois since the last season. At that time, Zinedine Zidane predicted Courtois to replace Keylor Navas who performed unstably.
Now, though the coach is Julen Lopetegui, Los Blanco’s interest is still on. Moreover, the keeper performed great during the 2018 World Cup and got the Golden Glove Award.
Marca reported, Real Madrid chance to get Courtois is bigger since the player won’t extend the new contract. As a result, Madrid needs to prepare 35 million euro considering Courtois’ contract is just a season away.
The family factor is one of the factors why Courtois will accept Real Madrid’s offer. Currently, two of his kids are living in Spain’s capital. Furthermore, Marca expects the transfer will meet an end by this week.
“This World Cup can mark our generation and we have to be totally focused. Afterward, in about eight or nine days I’ll decide what’s best for me, and I’ll talk later,” said Courtois to Onda Cero after the semifinal round of World Cup versus France.
