Real Madrid would be taking on Courtois from Chelsea but the latter needs a replacement for the shot-stopper. As Chelsea has not been able to find a replacement for Courtois it is uncertain whether Real Madrid would be able to get the player they want. Chelsea had been targeting Pepe Reina but that has not yet been confirmed. Hence, if Pepe Reina does not agree to come and join the Blues team Chelsea’s search would continue for finding a proper replacement for Courtois.

Courtois is available for transfer to any team for 35 million Euros and if he is not taken up by Real Madrid he would be taken by Stamford Bridge on free transfer mode next summer. That is when his contract will expire. While the shot-stopper is being eyed by Real Madrid, the player himself is also keen to return to Madrid as that is where his family roots are. However, Chelsea will stall the move until they find a suitable replacement.
