Real Madrid make Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois their top target once transfer ban ends
REAL MADRID are lining up a move for Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, according to reports in Spain.
AS
report that Zinedine Zidane has identified the Chelsea No 1 as a top
priority and add that Courtois is likely to favour a return to the
Spanish, despite previously playing for their fierce city rivals,
Atletico Madrid.
The
newspaper's front page on Thursday reads 'Objective Courtois' and says
that 'Madrid have him in their project of summer transfers.'
Courtois
has been in superb form for Chelsea this season and his performance
levels have coincided with a relentless winning run by Antonio Conte's
side.
Chelsea
have won their last 11 matches and only conceded twice in a run of form
that has seen that carve out a six-point lead at the top of the Premier
League.
Overall,
the 24-year-old Belgium international Courtois has made 72 appearances
so far for Chelsea, after a three-year loan spell in Spain with
Atletico.

On
Tuesday, Madrid had their transfer ban reduced from two windows to one,
meaning they will be free to sign players in the summer of 2017.
Chelsea and Courtois are next in action on Boxing Day, when they are at home to Bournemouth.
