The Blues keeper is expected to re-sign eventually despite turning down the Blues' opening offer and potential interest from Real Madrid
Thibaut Courtois has rejected Chelsea's opening offer of a new contract but both parties hope to agree a new deal despite interest from Real Madrid, Goal understands.
Courtois, who is currently on £100,000-a-week, wants to double his salary to £200,000-a-week and is hopeful an agreement can be reached before the start of the new season.
Chelsea's first offer was discarded amicably but talks are set to resume soon. Madrid are not expecting the Belgium international to become available during the current window despite their attempts to convince him to move back in February.
