Chelsea have been linked with moves for Roma’s Alisson and Stoke’s Jack Butland amid talk of Courtois’ exit.

However, the Evening Standard claim the 26-year-old is mystified over their pursuit for a new stopper.

Discussions between him and the FA Cup winners have been ongoing since January.

They planned to continue those talks after the showpiece in Russia this summer, and Courtois still believes they are set to take place.
