Real Madrid 'plotting record-breaking Thibaut Courtois move'

A report claims that Real Madrid are planning to make a bid in the region of £79m for Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois this summer.

Chelsea keeper Thibaut Courtois could reportedly be lured to Real Madrid this summer in a record-breaking move.

The Belgium international hinted earlier this week that his time at Stamford Bridge may be coming to an end after just two full seasons at the club.

Courtois, who ousted Petr Cech as the Blues' first-choice stopper, is thought to be unhappy with Chelsea's form on the back of their title-winning campaign last time out.

According to The Sun, Real are now ready to pounce for the unsettled goalkeeper and have placed him at the top of their transfer wishlist ahead of next season.

Los Blancos had been long-term admirers of Manchester United No.1 David de Gea, but it is claimed that an embarrassing failure to get a deal over the line last summer has now seen the Spanish giants turn their attention elsewhere.

It has previously been suggested that Chelsea would not allow the 23-year-old to leave for anything less than £79m, though the same report indicates that Madrid would be willing to match that valuation to make Courtois the most costly keeper of all time.

PSG are also thought to be interested in the Belgian, with a double swoop involving countryman Eden Hazard potentially in the pipeline.
