Courtois told Real Madrid transfer is OFF (Mirror)

  /  autty

Thibaut Courtois has been told he will NOT be given a Real Madrid move this summer.

The Belgian No.1 will instead be forced to see out the final year of his contract at Stamford Bridge.

The Spaniards are keen on Courtois, but the Blues were only willing to cash in on the player should they nail down a replacement before next Thursday's transfer deadline.

Chelsea will now lose Courtois for nothing next summer should they fail to convince him to sign a new deal.

The Star claim that Real's offer is 'peanuts,' meaning an extra year with the world class goalkeeper is more attractive than the prospect of playing out the season with a significantly worse goalkeeper.
