Thibaut Courtois

Thibaut Courtois claims he is receiving unfair treatment in Spain for a difficult first season at the club and defended his abilities after making an embarrassing error in Belgium's Euro 2020 qualifier with Russia on Thursday.

Thibaut Courtois, 26, signed for Madrid from Chelsea on Wednesday for a reported 35 million euros after winning two Premier League titles.

Keylor Navas joined Real in 2014 and has helped them win a remarkable three consecutive Champions League crowns between 2016 and 2018 as well as lifting the La Liga title in 2017.

Athletic Bilbao goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga has paid his 80 million-euro ($92.8 million) buy-out clause to break his contract with the Spanish side ahead of a reported move to Chelsea.

Thibaut Courtois' agent has called on the Chelsea hierarchy to let the Belgium international move to Real Madrid in the transfer window.

After a 1-1 draw with Barcelona in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie this month, Chelsea were defeated 2-1 by Manchester United.

Thibaut Courtois has been ever-present in Chelsea's starting line-up since permanently signing for the London club in 2014.

Thibaut Courtois is expected to have a longer stay at the bench as the club is expected to arrange a number of fitness tests for the goalie.

UEFA statement said if Chelsea enforced the penalty clause for semi-final tie they would be sanctioned.
