The latest gossip in the newspapers is once again surrounding the fate of goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.
Courtois for his part has done very little to extinguish the rumours linking him with a move to Spain throughout his time at Chelsea.
The goalkeeper spent three seasons at the Vicente Calderon on loan with Atletico Madrid before being integrated into Jose Mourinho’s title-winning squad at the expense of Petr Cech.
Since his return to London, Courtois has often spoken of his fondness for Spain and his desire to one day return to La Liga.
This has led to rumours constantly circulating that Real Madrid view Courtois as their goalkeeper of the future, and Kaylor Navas’ struggles in net this season have only served to add fuel to the rumours.
The latest speculation is that Chelsea have been lining up potential replacements in case Courtois does make the switch to the Spanish capital this summer. Here are some of the potential replacements.
