THIBAUT COURTOIS is already planning his summer move to Real Madrid.
Los Blancos want the Belgian stopper to become their No1 after realising a move for Manchester United’s David De Gea would be too difficult to complete.
The 24-year-old Courtois wants to leave Premier League leaders Chelsea for the Spanish giants, with Cadena Cope claiming earlier this week that he had already told his team-mates of his wish.
He is familiar with the city after spending three years on loan with rivals Atletico.
Despite his past with Los Colchoneros, Courtois is “crazy” over moving to the Bernabeu.

He is confident that Real will make a move for him this summer, especially after the recent poor form of their current stopper Keylor Navas.
Courtois’ wife and daughter still live in Madrid, with him regularly returning to the city to see them.
It has also been reported that he has enquired about enrolling his daughter in a school there next year, suggesting he sees his long-term future away from Stamford Bridge.
Madrid have been long-term admirers of De Gea and almost completed a deadline day swoop in August 2015 for the ace before paperwork problems prevented the deal from being completed.
