# Courtois “happy” at Chelsea and wants to sign new contract

Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has revealed that he is “happy” at Stamford Bridge and wants to sign a new deal at the London club before the end of the season, according to Belgian journalist [Kristof Terreur](https://twitter.com/HLNinEngeland/status/939562259617140736).

The shot-stopper has been linked with a move away from Chelsea, with Spanish La Liga giants Real Madrid reportedly interested in making a move for him.

However, the Belgian insists that he doesn’t want to pursue a move away from the club.

But the 25-year old says a decision on his future may be influenced by personal circumstances with his two children living in Spain with his former girlfriend.

> It \[my private situation\] is not always easy. But I’d also seen this coming. I knew that she \[his former girlfriend\] would return to Madrid, so that has its influence too.

> I love my children to death. When you miss them, you are sometimes wondering ‘shouldn’t I play in Spain in the next few years’? That’s why I want to take my time to make a decision on that contract extension.

The Belgian has started every single Premier League game for Chelsea so far this season and although he is attracted to a move back to Spain, he is most likely to sign a new deal at Chelsea with his current contract set to expire in 18 months.

> I don’t see any reason why I won’t sign a new deal. I just want to consider all options. Everything has to be right.
