Thibaut Courtois is refusing to sign a new contract with Chelsea in a bid to force a transfer to Real Madrid, according to reports.

Courtois' current deal at Stamford Bridge expires in the summer of 2019 and club chiefs are hoping the he will sign a new deal.

But the Belgian goalkeeper is reportedly rebuffing the offers as he wants to secure a move back to La Liga.

According to Marca, Courtois feels that this time in the Premier League is coming to an end and he is keen to push through a move to Real.

The 25-year-old has been heavily linked to Real in the past as they look to find a long-term stopper to replace Keylor Navas.

Real have been fans of Courtois since his three-year loan spell in Spain at Atletico Madrid.

Chelsea could choose to cash in on Courtois next summer in order to avoid losing him on a free transfer the year afterwards.

Real have also been interested in Manchester United's David De Gea, who was a matter of minutes from completing a move on deadline day in summer 2015.

De Gea, however, now appears settled in Manchester.
