CARDIFF HOPE TO MAKE MARK AGAIN
Hammers record signing Felipe wants to follow in the footsteps of East End legends Moore, Tevez and Di Canio
THIBAUT COURTOIS has plunged Chelsea into crisis after becoming the second big name to cast doubt over his future.
The Belgium keeper has a year left on his contract and described the club’s last offer as “different” to what he could now expect.
It could mean he follows Eden Hazard out of the exit door at Stamford Bridge. Hazard, who has Real Madrid chasing him, had said “it might be time to discover something different”.
Real are also interested in Courtois – who has been offered £250,000 a week to make him the world’s highest-paid keeper – and the move may appeal as both MILLION his children live in Madrid. It is another huge headache for new Blues boss Maurizio Sarri.
With Belgium finishing third in Russia, Courtois (right), who won the Golden Glove in Russia, said: “I’ll be coming back, for sure and I’ll see what they want and how they say it.
“Obviously with this World Cup, I think what was on the table is different than what I can have, maybe. I’ve ignored all the speculation, all the rumours.
“But in the next few days I’ll have a chat with my agent and see what Chelsea told him, and then we’ll talk. But I feel happy at Chelsea.” CARDIFF have agreed a deal in principle to bring back Serbia star Marko Grujic for a second loan spell. The Liverpool midfielder (left), 22, helped City win promotion last term and the Reds are happy for him to return to Wales.
