Chelsea shot-stopper to join Real Madrid after contract expires

Chelsea's Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois looks set to join Real Madrid when his contract expires at the West London club in 2016.

The 21-year-old has failed to make an appearance for the Blues in any competition so far and has been shipped to La Liga outfit Atletico Madrid on loan for the past two-and-a-half seasons.

Latest reports reveal that the former Genk star could leave Stamford Bridge for Los Blancos when his contract expires in the summer of 2016, with manager Jose Mourinho unlikely to offer him a regular starting spot until current number one Petr Cech shows signs of decline in his abilities.

Courtois joined the Premier League leaders from Genk in 2011.
