Thibaut Courtois has said he is no hurry to hold talks with Chelsea over a new contract.
“Regarding my contract, that’s something where Chelsea must deal with my agent [Christophe Henrotay]. I don’t think there have been any new developments.
“We have so many games at the moment, and I prefer to focus on the team’s matches, my own performances, and there will be time enough towards the end of the season to have talks.”
Real Madrid have long considered Courtois and Manchester United’s David De Gea to be their two top goalkeeping targets.
Courtois, who spent three seasons on loan with Atletico Madrid, has made no secret of his desire to return to Spain one day, saying last year that he “fell in love” with the country and considers himself “half-Spanish.”
