The father of Thibaut Courtois dismisses reports claiming that the on-loan Chelsea goalkeeper has agreed to join Real Madrid when his Blues contract expires in 2016.

The father of Thibaut Courtois has denied rumours claiming that the Chelsea goalkeeper has agreed to join Real Madrid when his contract expires in 2016.

The Belgian is earmarked to be the London club's long-term number one, but is currently enjoying a third consecutive season on loan at Atletico Madrid.

He is expected to return to Stamford Bridge in the summer, but with talks over a new deal yet to begin and Petr Cech still firmly first choice under Jose Mourinho, his future with the Blues is somewhat uncertain.

Reports on Monday suggested that Los Blancos were preparing to swoop if he were to become a free agent, but Thierry Courtois has dismissed the rumours as an attempt to unsettle Atletico's title challenge.

"It's an attempt to destabilise Atletico," he is quoted as telling La Derniere Heure. "There hasn't been any contact with Real. Our negotiations with Chelsea still have to start.

"And Chelsea would never let him go that way, when his contract has expired. Thibaut is now focused on the season with Atletico and the Champions League."

Courtois joined Chelsea from Genk for £5m in 2011, but has yet to make a senior appearance for the club.
