# Real Madrid in advanced talks over Courtois deal

Real Madrid are in advanced talks to sign Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois this summer.

[According to HLN, via The BBC,](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/gossip) the Spanish giants are deep into negotiations over a deal for the shot-stopper.

Courtois has been heavily linked with an exit from Chelsea over the past year, with the Belgian thought to be interested in returning to Spain – where his daughter lives.

Courtois has one season left on his Chelsea contract and talks to extend his deal have stagnated.

Chelsea could now be tempted to cash in on the 26-year-old, who has made over 150 appearances for the club.

The Belgian international has won two Premier League titles in four seasons with Chelsea, after returning from a three-year loan at Atletico Madrid.
