Often troubled by injury but always reliable in goal for Real Madrid, Thibaut Courtois could spring a surprise by leaving the Spanish capital club at the end of the season. A sensational announcement has been setting Madrid alight in recent hours.
Real Madrid are on the verge of losing some of their best players. At a time when the club is going through a difficult period in sporting terms, some of its stars, totally frustrated by their playing time, are giving serious thought to their future. Thibaut Courtois, who has often been injured, has been spared, however, as he has performed match after match.
The Belgian goalkeeper, who has put the Red Devils on hold, is devoting 100% of his time to Real Madrid. In fact, he has saved the club on numerous occasions at the start of this season, when Carlo Ancelotti’s team is losing its way like a fish trapped by a fisherman. Even if he is weak and considered the best goalkeeper in the world, Courtois may still have other motivations, having already won everything with Real Madrid, including the Champions League.
PSG make a move for Courtois, the latest rumour to set Madrid alight
Paris Saint-Germain are ready to shake up their plans to attract one of the best goalkeepers, if not the best. Gianluigi Donnarumma’s avoidable errors are beginning to seriously annoy the French club’s management. Indeed, during PSG’s Champions League clash with EtlĂ©tico Madrid, Donnarumma’s weaknesses were cruelly exposed.
His mistakes and lack of confidence in the air weighed heavily in the balance and prompted coach Luis Enrique to give serious thought to his goalkeeping hierarchy. With Russia’s Matvey Safonov as an alternative, Donnarumma’s position is under threat, and PSG could consider taking the next step to resolve the issue once and for all.
According to Defensa Central, PSG have been keeping a close eye on Thibaut Courtois for several years. Considered one of the best goalkeepers in the world, the 32-year-old Belgian presents an ideal profile for the Parisian club. He combines physical presence, aerial control and footwork, qualities that Donnarumma sorely lacks. With Courtois’ contract with Real Madrid set to expire in 2026, Paris could seize the opportunity to make a splash.

Real Madrid ready to secure Courtois, PSG pull out the chequebook
Real Madrid are well aware of outside interests, particularly that of PSG. The Merengues are already considering an extension for their invaluable goalkeeper, in order to avoid a delicate situation. Courtois, for his part, makes no secret of his attachment to Madrid and wants to continue his adventure with the Merengues. However, PSG’s tempting offer could change everything.
Should negotiations between Courtois and Real Madrid stall, PSG could strike a blow. The Spanish media reports that Doha is prepared to offer Courtois almost double his salary, a major argument in favour of convincing the Belgian goalkeeper to make the big move to Paris. Turning 33 in 2025, Courtois could be tempted by one last lucrative and ambitious adventure in Ligue 1.
