Thibaut Courtois COMPLETES Real Madrid transfer: Goalkeeper unveiled at the Bernabeu

Courtois has been desperate to join the club all summer.

And he's now got his way and been confirmed as Real Madrid's new No.1.

Chelsea signed Kepa from Athletic Bilbao last night for £71m - freeing up Courtois to move to Madrid in a deal worth around £35m.

The Belgian was unveiled as the club's latest signing this afternoon.

A video of the goalkeeper signing his contract alongside president Florentino Perez was published on the European champions' Twitter feed.

He's signed a six-year deal with the club.

Courtois said yesterday: "I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for the four fantastic years that have passed. Chelsea FC will always have a fantastic place in my heart.

"I want to thank the fans for their great support over the years. I hope you understand that being closer to my kids was considerable in my decision."

Keylor Navas has vowed to fight Courtois all the way and defend his place as Real's No.1 goalkeeper.
"Tell everyone loud and clear, I have as much enthusiasm for leaving Madrid as I do for dying," the Costa Rica international said.

Navas joined Real in 2014 and has helped them win a remarkable three consecutive Champions League crowns between 2016 and 2018 as well as lifting the La Liga title in 2017.
