"?Chelsea could be set for a shake-up in goal this summer, with Champions League finalists Real Madrid said to be considering a move for Blues goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois to challenge their current number one, Keylor Navas.
"?La Gazzetta dello Sport report that Los Blancos are considering a move for the Belgian this summer which they say - with Chelsea lacking any semblance of European football next season and Real Madrid...being Real Madrid - the 24-year-old may actually consider taking, in a deal which could be worth around £70m.
Real Madrid have contacted Chelsea for Courtois, according to tomorrow edition of Gazzetta
Courtois missed a whopping 15 Premier League games this past season thanks to a mixture of injury and suspension, with backup Asmir Begovic proving himself a more than reliable deputy - although incoming boss Antonio Conte is thought to favour a move for Inter's Samir Handanovic if the Belgian does leave.
It's not the first time this summer that Courtois has been linked with a move to the Spanish giants, having put his Chelsea future in doubt with some comments earlier in the season in which he hinted that he was considering a summer move.
He later slammed that door though, saying: "I have a contract for three years, so I will say 100 per cent. Rumours affect any club where things are going badly. People think the top players want to leave because they are not in the Champions League. Everyone knows it is our fault we will not play in that competition next year.

"It has happened to Manchester United and to Dortmund, to not play in the Champions League, and it is heartbreaking. This year, we have not defended our title well like we needed to. We must regather our forces to return stronger and get back to the Champions League."
