According to "Varesh Se", Real Madrid and Thibaut Courtois are going to extend the contract of this Belgian goalkeeper until June 30, 2028. As Fabrizio Romano previously announced and Marca confirmed, the club has accelerated negotiations to extend the contract that expires in 2027, and the two sides have reached a full agreement to continue the defender's presence at the Santiago Bernabeu for another season; An issue that will be officially announced in a short period of time.

Regarding the 34-year-old Courtois, the managers of Real Madrid preferred not to wait until the final months of the season, because they are completely sure of the technical and sports evaluations, and the player himself also wants to continue his work.

The new contract allows the Belgian goalkeeper to protect the goal of the Galaxy until the age of 36, i.e. June 2028, and to extend his presence in this team to a decade.
