Thibaut Courtois has completed his move to Real Madrid from Chelsea. The Belgium international, named best goalkeeper at the World Cup this summer, has signed a six-year deal after completing a medical yesterday.
Courtois, 26, had a year remaining on his Chelsea deal and did not report for training with the Blues this week, before the transfer was agreed for a reported 35 million euros (R278 cr). A video on Real Madrid's official Twitter feed showed Courtois signing his contract alongside club president Florentino Perez.
