Chelsea's Thibaut Courtois has given the strongest indication yet that he will still be at Stanford Bridge next season, contrary to reports linking him with Real Madrid and Paris Saint Germain. Speaking to Standard Sport after the club's exit from the Champions League, the shot stopper said “I’m committed to Chelsea. I have a contract until next year and I will be here. I will do my best for it.
Obviously, there is no extension signed but I don’t think now is the moment to do it. I think it is better to wait until the end of the season. All I can say is I’m committed to Chelsea and also committed for next year.”
When asked if he was guaranteeing he will remain at Chelsea, he added:
“I have no other thing to say. It’s easy when you have only one year remaining that other people might say something. I’m a bit annoyed by it because it’s a talking point and it’s a thing people went to dwell on.
“But I think the focus now should be on winning our League games to get a top four finish and back in the Champions League for next season as well as going through in the FA Cup. That’s the most important thing and is what we have to do as a group and for myself as well.”
