They ensure that Courtois is a big aim of the Barça

As they have published "Sport" and "MD", the FC Barcelona would have the intention to struggle with Real Madrid and Chelsea for doing with the services this summer of Thibaut Courtois, at present one of the best goalkeepers of the planet as it has remained showed in the last stretch of season. In spite of that Ter Stegen already there would be pactado his arrival to the Barcelona group, the Barça could decide incorporate to two goalkeepers of maximum level so that they compete by the titularity in the team culé.

Andoni Zubizarreta Will be the one who will have to promote the contracting of the Belgian, as long as have the beneplácito of the managerial board and also of the next trainer, that all seems to indicate that it will be Luis Enrique. The time runs, however, and Chelsea insists to the representative of Courtois so that it renew the agreement that converts him for the time being in "blue" until 2016. The guardameta finds very to taste in Spain and would not wish to renew, conscious that during some years more will live of the cessions and will be substitute of Petr Cech. 

"Sport" Ensures that Courtois feels predilection by the FC Barcelona, and that would be had to sign with the entity culé. For the moment, he would not have to carry out the processes of adaptation that yes will have to make Ter Stegen, that will arrive to a League and different country. Some sectors of the barcelonismo, besides, ensure that to be competitive to all the levels is necessary to have very reinforced all the positions, beginning by the one of goalkeeper. With Ter Stegen and Courtois, the future in the goal of the FC Barcelona would be more than guaranteeed.

Courtois, had to land in the FC Barcelona

It does some days, the newspaper "Sport" ensured that a director of the Barça already there was sondeado the nearest surroundings of the Belgian goalkeeper on his predisposition to abandon the Athletic Madrid, litigate with Chelsea, and fichar by the Barça. Like this then , in spite of that the arrival of Ter Stegen is safe, Courtois is also in the diary of Zubizarreta. With 21 years and 1,98 m of height, the Belgian goalkeeper is already all a guarantee under the sticks. 

His cession to the Athletic has done him grow exponencialmente and everything and his high cost (25-30 million euros and a very hard negotiation with Chelsea), his signing almost would guarantee maximum security in the Barcelona goal during the next 10 years. In these moments Chelsea of José Mourinho and Roman Abramovich are trying to negotiate with the representative of the footballer an enlargement of agreement, but for the moment both parts would be at variance. The key, therefore, would be to convince to the surroundings of the player so that it decide fichar by the FC Barcelona instead of remaining in the Athletic or return to London.
