Thibaut Courtois: 'My future is not clear'

Chelsea stopper Thibaut Courtois admits that his future at the club is "not clear" amid links with Real Madrid.

Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has admitted that he is "not clear" about his future with the club and will "listen" to any offers from Real Madrid.

The 25-year-old, who previously played for Real's city rivals Atletico Madrid, is currently in talks with the Blues about a new contract, with his existing deal due to expire at the end of next season.

Real have long been credited with an interest in the Belgian, however, and in a recent interview Courtois admitted that his "heart is in Madrid".

Seeking to clarify those comments last night following Chelsea's 1-1 draw with Barcelona, Courtois told reporters: "I'm not clear about my future, what I said that my heart is in Madrid was misunderstood.

"I have two children in Spain, in Madrid, and that's not easy. I have one year left [here] and I'm happy and talking to Chelsea.

"They have bet on me from the first moment and that is not forgotten. I do not think Florentino Perez (Real president) calls me, he will call my agent and he will listen to him."

Courtois has been at Stamford Bridge since 2011, having signed from Genk in a deal worth €9m at the time.
