Chelsea’s number one could leave Stamford Bridge for personal reasons

There is so much anxiety at Stamford Bridge over the future of Blues number Thibaut Courtois. The Belgian has just 18 months left in his current deal with Chelsea and talks off a new deal has been placed on hold until next summer, as the Blues failed to match his £200,000 per week demand. While Chelsea are considering whether to give in to his contract demands, it seem as if they might not be able to keep him anyway as he considers a move to Spain that would get him closer to his family. The Belgian married his former wife, Marta Dominguez during his time on loan at Atletico Madrid, but the pair separated April this year and Dominguez stays with their kids in Madrid. While Courtois is committed to the Blues whom he signed for in 2011, he seem to have had his head turned by the interest of Real Madrid because of his family situation. The busy nature of his job as a Premier League star means he spends very little time with his family, and he has admitted to this being a major problem for him.

Sturridge would love the Reds to consider their approach even if it means him spending just the next six months there.
