Chelsea warned Real Madrid off making a bid for Thibaut Courtois by demanding £73 million for the goalkeeper.

Real are now preparing to formalise attempts to sign David de Gea next

Manchester United goalkeeper following his international commitments
with Spain, but it has emerged that Courtois was their first choice.
