According to journalist Eduardo Inda in "El Chiringuito" (referred to by "OK Diario"), Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has received a hefty offer from Saudi Arabia.
The Belgian goalkeeper, who currently earns around €8 million net at the club, has been offered a contract worth around €30 million per season, a huge increase compared to his current salary.
Courtois joined Real Madrid in 2018 from Chelsea and has since become one of the team's most important players.
The Belgian goalkeeper has been crucial in several titles won by the club in recent years and is widely regarded as one of the best goalkeepers in world football.
Now 33, Courtois still has several top-level seasons ahead of him.
However, his current contract with Real Madrid expires in June 2027, meaning that after this season he will enter the final part of the deal.
This contractual situation could motivate Saudi clubs to put more pressure next summer.
With a salary offer that Real Madrid are unlikely to match, this could complicate future negotiations between the player and the club.
The Madrid club usually uses a renewal policy for older players, offering shorter extensions – usually one-year contracts or those linked to performance targets.
This approach could clash with the possibility of Courtois signing a big, long-term contract outside Spain.
For the Belgian goalkeeper, the decision could end up being based on financial feasibility compared to continuing his career at Madrid, where he remains one of the main pillars of the team at the Bernabéu./Express newspaper/
