Champions League:Chelsea Goal-keeper Thibaut Courtois Clarifies “My Heart Is In Madrid”

Thibaut Courtois, who previously played for Real’s city rivals Atletico Madrid, is currently in talks with Chelsea about a new contract, with his existing deal due to expire at the end of next season.
Real have long been credited with an interest in the Belgian, however, and in a recent interview Courtois admitted that his “heart is in Madrid”.
Seeking to clarify those comments last night following Chelsea’s 1-1 draw with Barcelona, Courtois told reporters: “I’m not clear about my future, what I said that my heart is in Madrid was misunderstood.
“I have two children in Spain, in Madrid, and that’s not easy. I have one year left [here] and I’m happy and talking to Chelsea.
“They have bet on me from the first moment and that is not forgotten. I do not think Florentino Perez (Real president) calls me, he will call my agent and he will listen to him.”
