Thibaut Courtois is close to signing a long-term contract extension with Chelsea.

Courtois has been linked with a return to Spain as Real Madrid has expressed interest.

Courtois is out of contract after the 18-19 season.

“It has just turned the new year so we will wait a few weeks and then sit around the table,” Courtois said. “I’m happy at Chelsea and a deal is close. Has it been a distraction? Not for me. I’m just calm and relaxed because I’m tied to Chelsea. Despite the rumours and everything, I am focused on Chelsea and I’m happy here.”
