Courtois unsure of Chelsea future

Thibaut Courtois Chelsea goalkeeper



Thibaut Courtois admits he is uncertain of whether or not he will be Chelsea goalkeeper next season.

The 26-year-old Belgian international helped his side to an FA Cup final victory over Manchester United on Saturday.

Eden Hazard’s first-half penalty separated the two sides and after the game the former Genk shotstopper revealed he may leave Chelsea in the off-season amid reports of interest from Real Madrid.

Courtois said: “We’ll see what is going to happen after the World Cup.

Like I said in the last weeks or months, I think we’ll see after the World Cup whether I am a Chelsea player for next year.”

With Chelsea finishing the 2017/18 Premier League season in fifth, Courtois added that he felt some investment was needed at Chelsea if they were to challenge for the league.

Yes, I think so,” he said. “I think especially if you see how City and United are spending and working.

I think if we want to aim for the top, we should do the same – obviously within the limits of what’s possible as well.

I think that the transfer market has gone pretty crazy. Nowadays, you pay £80m for a defender I think – that’s crazy figures.

We’ll see what’s going on and I am sure the board will do what needs to be done.
