Metro have Chelsea fans looking up desperately to hear what our landlord has to say here in the Football Transfer Tavern and after seeing that the publication seems to think the Blues are set to receive a bid for Thibaut Courtois, we cannot blame them.
Real Madrid are reportedly set to turn their attentions to the Chelsea stopper and after a string of impressive performances for the Blues since taking over from Petr Cech, not to mention his time in the Spanish capital when at Atletico Madrid, we can fully understand why Los Blancos are keen on the player.
That being said, we think that even the suggested offer of Raphael Varane going to West London in part exchange would not be enough to persuade Jose Mourinho to part with his number one goalkeeper.
Carlo Ancelotti’s side may well have to focus on Manchester United’s David De Gea once again if they really want to land a top class stopper as the long-term heir to Iker Casillas’ throne and one of our regulars claims Madrid could even turn their attention to Cech!
