Report: Real Madrid considering Chelsea's Thibaut Courtois

Real Madrid are reportedly considering a summer move for Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.

The Spanish giants were minutes away from signing David de Gea from Manchester United in last summer's transfer window, but failed to secure the Spaniard after official paperwork was sent past the deadline.

It had been thought that the Champions League finalists would return with a new bid at the end of the season, but according to the Daily Mail, the club could now switch their attention to Chelsea's Courtois.

The Belgian international returned to Stamford Bridge in 2014 following a three-year loan spell at Atletico Madrid and helped Chelsea win the Premier League title during his first season in the first team.

The stopper's performances this term have been questioned, however, and it has been widely reported that the 23-year-old is considering his long-term future due to the absence of Champions League football for the 2016-17 campaign.
