Talks planned! Sarri opens up and announces talks with world class Courtois after agent claims!

Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri has dismissed comments made by the agent of Thibaut Courtois, and plans to have talks with his Belgian star.

Courtois has been in the media all summer after reports emerged that he was ready to pack his bags and jump on a plane to Spain, where he is keen to link-up with his family and play for La Liga giants Real Madrid.

Madrid have barely done any real business this transfer window despite a lot of speculation, but are expected to complete a bargain £43 million deal for Courtois before the deadline on August 9th.

And in a bid to get a deal done, his agent Christophe Henrotay urged Chelsea to show some compassion and allow Courtois to join Madrid so that he can live close to his family.

“I am not interested in the agent,” Sarri said.

“I want to hear Courtois [and see] if Courtois, tomorrow, will say to me the same.

“I have to speak with my player, of course. I want only players who play with a very high level of motivation. I don’t have anything to answer to the agent.”


With just a few days to go in the transfer window, Chelsea need to get this situation resolved quickly or they fear losing one of their best players and having no adequate replacement signed.
