Real Madrid: Thibaut Courtois on the verge of extending his contract

Another deal to wrap up in the coming days at Real Madrid. Thibaut Courtois is on the verge of extending his contract with Los Merengues.

Having joined Real Madrid in 2018, Thibaut Courtois has become a legend of La Casa Blanca. After making 342 appearances for Los Merengues, the Belgian goalkeeper has won four La Liga titles, two Champions Leagues, two UEFA Super Cups and an Intercontinental Cup. At the end of the current season, the former Chelsea player will be out of contract. However, he is expected to renew in the coming days.

🚨🤍 Real Madrid have reached an agreement in principle with Thibaut Courtois over new contract. The club considers Courtois a key player, top in the world and new deal will be signed soon after verbal agreement. Current deal expires in June 2027 but Thibaut will defend Real Madrid’s goal also next season, 2027/28.

Andriy Lunin will remain number two

According to information from The Athletic, Thibaut Courtois is on the verge of signing a new contract that will keep him at Real Madrid until 2028. Despite his age, the Belgian goalkeeper is still considered by the club's hierarchy to be the best goalkeeper in the world. Therefore, Andriy Lunin's promotion to the number-one spot is still not on the agenda!
