Saudi Arabia Eyes Thibaut Courtois for Real Madrid
Al-Ahli Eyes Thibaut Courtois
After pursuing Real Madrid stars like Benzema and Modric, Saudi Arabia’s Al-Ahli now sets its sights on superstar goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, considered by many as the best in the world.
Massive Offers on the Table
Reports suggest that Al-Ahli is preparing substantial offers for both Courtois and Real Madrid. Despite turning down previous offers last summer, Courtois remains a top target for the Middle Eastern club.

Real Madrid’s Stance
Real Madrid has no plans to part ways with Courtois, valuing him as the premier goalkeeper. However, a substantial offer could potentially change President Florentino Perez’s mind, especially with Courtois approaching 33 and dealing with recent injuries.
Contract Situation
Courtois’ contract with Real Madrid runs until 2026, with the club typically offering one-year extensions to players over thirty. This could present an opportunity for Saudi Arabia to make a move next summer if they are determined to secure Courtois.
