Liverpool circle as Thibaut Courtois signals Chelsea exit

Thibaut Courtois is leaving Chelsea

It’s not long a question of ‘if’, but rather ‘when’.

According to Italian transfer guru Gianluca Di Marzio, Belgian international keeper Thibaut Courtois has made it crystal clear to Chelsea that he wants to leave.

Courtois has been with the Blues for four seasons. However Courtois’s current Chelsea deal expires in 12 months time.

Chelsea have been trying to agree a new contract with Courtois, but the goalie is refusing to sign on.

That’s left Chelsea facing a big problem this summer. They can either hold onto Courtois for another twelve months or they can sell him this summer.

Liverpool vs Real Madrid

Di Marzio states that both 2018 Champions League finalists, Liverpool and Real Madrid, are keen on signing Courtois.

Sadly Di Marzio offers no extra insight into the likelihood of either Liverpool or Real Madrid making that deal happen.

How much would the suitors need to pay Chelsea? Which club would Courtois prefer?

What about Maurizio Sarri?

Chelsea fans are still unsure who will be their manager next term.

In recent days there have been plenty of reports linking Maurizio Sarri with the Blues.

Antonio Conte remains the Chelsea manager. And Conte, who has one year remaining on his Blues contract, has been a success in his two years at Stamford Bridge.

Conte won the Premier League in his first year with the Blues. While the former Azzurri boss won the FA Cup to round off Chelsea’s last campaign.

Yet despite securing two trophies in two years, Conte continues to be tipped with a Chelsea summer exit.
