Thibaut Courtois 'mystified by Chelsea exit talk'

Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has reportedly been left 'mystified' by talk of his exit from Stamford Bridge.

The Belgian international, who has 12 months left on his current deal in West London, has been linked with a move to Real Madrid in recent months.

The Blues have also been linked with Brazil stopper Alisson and Stoke City goalkeeper Jack Butland, but according to the Evening Standard, Courtois is happy to remain in the capital.

The newspaper adds that Courtois wants to hold talks with Chelsea after the World Cup, and is not considering a sudden exit from the club.

The 26-year-old is expected to play when Belgium meet England at the World Cup later this month.
