Courtois drops a bomb on his future

Real Madrid remains confident as to the extension of the contract of the veteran goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.

The Belgian international player remains an essential element of the Real Madrid team trained by Xabi Alonso, as undisputed number 1, despite the departure of Carlo Ancelotti.

Courtois stressed how crucial for Alonso's new plans he was at the FIFA club World Cup which took place this summer in the United States.

The former Chelsea star prevented Borussia Dortmund from going back to the score thanks to a brilliant stop in additional time, allowing Real Madrid to qualify for the semi-finals. Although it could not prevent Paris Saint-Germain from beating the Alonso team in the semi-finals, Courtois played a central role while maintaining an honorable score.

Real Madrid accepts the renewal of courtes

According to information from the Fabrizio Romano and Matteo Moretto transfers experts, an agreement was concluded for Courtois to remain at the club until 2027.

The two parties have been negotiating for several months, and the Merengues still consider the 33 -year -old player as their number 1, despite his advanced age and the growing number of injuries.

To keep courteous, the club will have to deeply modify its contractual policy, Florentino Perez being ready to make an exception.

Over the past decade, Real Madrid has applied a policy that players over thirty could only benefit from a one -year contract renewal, negotiated during the last year of their contract.

The current courteous contract runs until 2026, and the two -year contract proposed would end this rule, which would constitute a real revolution.

Luka Modric is the most recent example of a player who has always signed one year contracts before his departure, the Croatian not being considered an exception.
