Real Madrid could reportedly pay around €35 million to sign the Belgian goalkeeper. Chelsea will be forced to sell Courtois if they don’t want him to leave as a free agent next year, given that his contract expires in June 2019.

Chelsea will want to sign a replacement for Courtois in the next few days because the transfer window in England will be closed on August 9th, so time is running out for all three parts involved.
