Thibaut Courtois officially completed his dream-move to Real Madrid after 7-year spell at Chelsea. Big Belgian is happy to finally reunite with his family who live in Spanish capital since 2011, when Thibaut first arrived in Madrid on loan for Atletico. Goalkeeper still needs to undergo medical, but we’ll see him in his new jersey before the end of the day. Chelsea also confirmed the deal which is instantly caused big movements in the squad with Mateo Kovacic being involved:
Conversely, Blues have replaced Courtois by breaking the world record (set in July) to bring new goalkeeper – Kepa from Athletic Bilbao – for €80 million. Fun fact is that Real Madrid was very close on Kepa’s capture just for €18 million last season but transfer was shut down by Athletic.
- During the 3-year loan spell at Atletico Madrid Thibaut Courtois was named Primera's Goalkeeper of the Year on 2 occasions
- For his 2018 World Cup performances Belgian goalkeeper was honored with Golden Glove
- Kepa made 30 appearances for Athletic Bilbao in the 2017/18 season in which secured only 7 clean sheets. He also have 1 cap for Spain national team
Madrid don't know what they need ,they keep on buying any player the see without checking were they have lapses

Courtois already knows what it is like to play in the Spanish league, this is due to his past at Atletico Madrid. This time he will play in the rival team, before, Real Madrid was very excited about this signing and now we can know if he will be able to live up to it, although I have no doubt about it, he has an immense quality.
