Thibaut Courtois issues Chelsea ultimatum

Real Madrid target Thibaut Courtois has told Chelsea “there will be no doubt” he will stay if he is “rewarded with a new contract” by the club.

The Belgian goalkeeper has so far yet to commit his future to the club amid interest from the La Liga giants.

Courtois and Manchester United’s David De Gea are both wanted by Champions League finalists Madrid.

The 25-year-old Blues stopper’s family still live in the Spanish capital from his time playing for Atletico Madrid, but that looks unlikely to draw him away from the Premier League champions.
Following Chelsea’s 2-1 defeat to Arsenal in the FA Cup Final at Wembley, he told Sky Sports: “Contract talks haven’t opened but I am happy at Chelsea.
“I hope they reward me with a good contract.

“Then there will be no doubt I will sign it.”
Courtois is under contract at Stamford Bridge until 2019 his form this campaign has led to Madrid stepping-up their interest in the star.
He won the Golden Glove award for keeping 16 clean sheets during Chelsea’s march to the title.

And reflecting on their defeat against the Gunners, Courtois admitted he and his team-mates will try to forget it as soon as possible.
He told the club’s website: "It's not a good feeling now. I had the same thing in Spain when I won the league and then lost the Champions League. We wanted to end on a high, now we feel sad.
"Winning is everything so this is hard to face but we have to try to forget it."
