Chelsea to sanction Thibaut Courtois sale?
Chelsea are reportedly in discussions with Real Madrid over the potential sale of Thibaut Courtois during the ongoing transfer window.
The Belgium international has been the Blues' first-choice shot-stopper over the past four seasons but his future has become uncertain with his contract expiring in 12 months' time.
According to HLN journalist Kristof Terreur, Chelsea are said to have opened negotiations with Los Blancos with the Belgian likely to part ways with the club before the transfer deadline.
Courtois previously spent three seasons in Madrid with Atletico on loan between 2011 and 2014 and he has since admitted that he would fancy a return to the city with his children resided there.
The Belgian has recently been part of the national team at the World Cup finals where they beat England by a 2-0 scoreline in the third-place play-off match.
Aside from Courtois, Eden Hazard has also been linked with a potential move to the Bernabeu from Stamford Bridge but it will be interesting to see whether new boss Maurizio Sarri permits his departure.
