Chelsea could be forced to brace up for an imminent exit of goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois after the Belgian rejected initial proposals over a new contract.
Reports are claiming Courtois, who is in early stages of discussions over a contract renewal with Chelsea, have already turned down the Blues’ initial proposal, and the Premier League champions would be forced to look for other options should they fail to convince the goalkeeper.

Courtois, 25, is on the radar of Real Madrid, who ended their pursuit of David De Gea, but with Gianluigi Donnarumma refusing to sign a new deal with AC Milan, it now means Real may choose to look the way of the young Italian instead, while Chelsea will also fancy a move for the 18-year old should Courtois end up in Madrid.
But Real’s interest in a new goalkeeper have cooled, as they are now starting to appreciate Keylor Navas more, as his fine form helped them win the Champions League and La Liga double.
Meanwhile, Chelsea prioritising new signings though have yet to agree new terms with manager Antonio Conte — or make a new contract offer to Eden Hazard.
