Courtois: Real Madrid sent me a touching message

A mid interest from a host of clubs across Europe, Thibaut Courtois has revealed that he received warm wishes from Real Madrid during his injury lay-off.

The Chelsea goalkeeper endured a difficult spell last season as he was sidelined with a knee problem which ruled him out for up to three months.

"What I do know is that Real Madrid made a very nice gesture to me," said Courtois.

"When I hurt my knee I was sent a fax wishing me a speedy recovery."

Real's interest in Courtois came to nothing this summer but the Belgium international remains at ease with his future prospects, irrespective of the interested parties.

"I don't know anything apart from what I read in the papers," he added.

"But I think a lot of clubs are monitoring me because of my profile.

"I can adapt to any style of play at any club."
