The journalist we trust most when it comes to Belgian football, Kristof Terreur, reckons Thibaut Courtois could leave Chelsea this summer if a massive offer comes in – but says the giant keeper is not interested in a Liverpool switch.

Before Chelsea might consider to sell him, there has to be a big offer first. None on the table at the moment. But that might change. #cfc https://t.co/3kkhUIba6J

All options are still open for Thibaut Courtois. Liverpool haven’t made any contact and the player is not interested in a move to the Reds. The departure of Zidane might change Real’s goalkeeper plans. #cfc #lfc pic.twitter.com/D1CMyXIUz5

The 25-year-old’s contract expires in 2019, meaning if he doesn’t renew terms at Stamford Bridge soon, the Blues will have little choice but to cash in and avoid losing him on a free.
Courtois was not at his best in 2017/18, but is a world-class stopper regarded by many as one of the best five on the planet.
In truth, we’d definitely take him at Anfield, but if he’s not keen, there’s other options we can focus our attentions on.
At EOTK, our primary options would be AS Roma’s Alisson or Atletico Madrid’s Jan Oblak.
Both would command crazy fees, but are elite and would finally fix a position which has been a problem since the end of Pepe Reina’s reign between the sticks.
The fact we want to be challenging for trophies and haven’t had a proper goalkeeper for over five years is farcical.
This summer we simply have to change that.
