Real Madrid target Thibaut Courtois ‘dismisses Chelsea contract extension talks’

THIBAUT COURTOIS has no interest in signing a new Chelsea deal, according to reports.

The shot-stopper is under contract at Stamford Bridge until the summer of 2019.

But Mundo Deportivo via TMW claims Courtois will soon be leaving Chelsea amid interest from Real Madrid.

Zinedine Zidane is on the hunt for a new goalie, and the Belgium international fits the bill.

Blues boss Antonio Conte is desperate to keep Courtois in London and has urged the English champs to break the bank for the “world’s best” keeper.

However, it now seems the 25-year-old is looking to move on, and a replacement may be needed sooner rather than later.

Stoke ace Jack Butland has been linked in recent times, with Atletico Madrid’s Jan Oblak said to be another target.

But SunSport understands that Chelsea will not sell Courtois this summer regardless of his contract situation, and are prepared to let him leave for free a year later.

Meanwhile, additional reports claim Chelsea will battle Arsenal for Udinese midfielder Jakub Jankto.

The left-sided playmaker scored twice in 13 minutes against Crotone at the weekend, and could now be rewarded with a lucrative move to the Premier League.
