Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois may decide to move to Real Madrid, because his children live in Madrid.

In the media for a long time there is information about the interest of Real to Courtois, whose contract with Chelsea is valid until the end of next season. Thibaut does not hide his love for Spain, which appeared in three years of speeches for Atletico.

Rumors of a possible transfer intensified last month, when Courtois said he would discuss a new contract near the end of the next season.

The situation is complicated by the fact that the two children of Thibaut live with his ex-girlfriend in Madrid, so he rarely sees them during the season.

"The situation in my private life is not easy, but I realized that there will be. I knew that my ex-girlfriend would return to Madrid. I will love my children to death. And sometimes when you miss them, you think: maybe I should play in Spain a couple of next years? Therefore, I need time to think over the extension of the contract, "- said Courtois VTM Stadion.

Thibaut denies that the main reason for the delay is his salary requirement of 200 thousand pounds a week.

"The press always talks about money. I do not deny that it plays a role, but it's important to put everything in its place. If I sign a new contract, I'll link myself to the club for a certain number of years. I'm happy here. I like playing for Chelsea, I love London. Circumstances in my personal life constantly chew me a little, but otherwise I'm very good at Chelsea. I see no reason why I should not sign a new contract. I just want to consider all the options. Everything must be done correctly ".

"Now is not the time to make hasty decisions - neither for me, nor for Chelsea. Within a couple of months we will sit at the table and openly talk. There is no pressure, except that they create media. In general, I want to agree until the end of the season ".

This season, Courtois held 22 games for Chelsea in all tournaments, noting with 1 assistant.
