Thibaut Courtois has reportedly opened talks with Spanish giants Real Madrid over a possible transfer.

The Belgian goalkeeper's future has been up in the air as he currently plays for Atletico Madrid on loan, but is tied down to a contract at Chelsea.

The 21-year-old has come in demand due to his impressive form in La Liga, prompting the likes of Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona to reportedly keep track of him.

While Atletico are said to be keen on signing Courtois on a permanent basis, Madrid are in talks with the goalkeeper, according to AS.

Reports have claimed that Chelsea want to keep him, but Courtois is said to be wary about playing second fiddle to Petr Cech.
