Real Madrid Transfer News: Latest Rumours on Thibaut Courtois, James Rodriguez

Thibaut Courtois is reportedly eager to move to Real Madrid and will run down his current contract with Chelsea in order to make a switch to the Santiago Bernabeu.

According to Mike McGrath of the Sun, Los Blancos view the Belgian as a "long-term No. 1 and a successor to current keeper Keylor Navas," and Courtois has told friends he will consider his future at the end of the 2017-18 campaign.

Per McGrath, his plan is reportedly to run down his contract while Real's FIFA-imposed transfer ban is in place for the next two windows in order to reduce his market value.
