Chelsea goalkeeper, Thibaut Courtois, has denied that he postponed talks over a new deal at the club, because he is waiting for an offer from Real Madrid.
However, Courtois admitted that his family situation makes the Spanish capital an attractive destination.
Although the Blues are keen to extend the Belgian’s contract, the stopper has said he will only consider offers next week, when he will enter the final year of his current deal.
“No. I’m calm, I’m happy at Chelsea. The reason why I’ve decided to wait is because we have a lot of games coming up and I want my mind to focus on this.
“Everyone knows that my personal [family] situation pulls me to Spain — if not now, then in the years to come,” he told La Sexta.
Courtois’ two children live with his ex-girlfriend in Madrid, limiting the amount of time he gets to spend with them during the English football season.
