Florentino Will 'skip' His Own Rules to Renew Courtois
The important contract that Courtois has after the decision that Florentino Pérez has made
One of Real Madrid's most important players for several seasons now is Courtois. The Belgian goalkeeper has been instrumental in winning several titles, including two Champions Leagues. However, his contract until 2026 left the door open for his departure in future transfer markets .
With Arab soccer ready to make offers for his services, this situation has been halted . Florentino Pérez, despite his own rules, has taken the decision to renew the Belgian's contract. An extension for two more years that would distance the Arabs from a goalkeeper in whom the president still has confidence .
A Key Renewal
Joining the team in 2018 from Chelsea, Courtois has proven his worth on countless occasions. The 1,350 minutes played this season are a testament to his importance to the team . Likewise, the 12 goals conceded and 6 clean sheets are proof that his quality hasn't diminished.
Although his contract runs until 2026, Real Madrid are not prepared to let the 32-year-old goalkeeper go. With the possibility of extending his stay at the team until 2028, the Belgian has had no doubts about staying longer at the club . Because of this, the Arab soccer team, which had positioned him as its next transfer, will not be able to secure his services.
The confidence in Courtois has been demonstrated in this renewal offer. Even so, the team's biggest problem is undoubtedly the Belgian's injuries, who in 7 seasons has suffered 16 injuries .
A safe goal for many years to come
While Lunin showed his quality last season in the absence of Courtois, the Ukrainian is still far from the Belgian's level . Looking to keep his goal safe for more years, Courtois' renewal was key to this.
There is nothing signed yet with this renewal, but that is only a matter of time. Given Courtois' love and commitment to Real Madrid, the Belgian will not take long to confirm his stay for two more seasons .
