Real Madrid Extends Thibaut Courtois' Contract Until 2027
Real Madrid has extended the contract of Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois until June 2027. The agreement was signed last summer, and the club plans to continue talks for a longer deal.
Spanish football giants Real Madrid are keeping their first-choice goalkeeper. According to football journalist Fabrizio Romano, Thibaut Courtois agreed to a new contract with the club a year ago. The deal was signed last summer and runs until June 2027 with unchanged terms.

Internationally, he helped the club win two UEFA Champions League titles, two UEFA Super Cups, one FIFA Club World Cup, and one FIFA Intercontinental Cup.

For the Belgian national team, Courtois has 115 caps. At the 2018 World Cup, he helped Belgium finish third and was awarded the Golden Glove as the tournament's best goalkeeper.
