Chelsea No.1 Thiabaut Courtois is set to emerge the world’s most expensive goalkeeper with a deal worth 200,000 pounds a week.
The deal which include bonuses will see the Belgian overtake Manchester United’s David De Gea as the World’s highest paid goalkeeper.
And the Premier League champions are optimistic the 25-year-old will sign the new contract, despite interest from Real Madrid.
According to The Telegraph, the Courtois’ current £100,000-a-week deal, which runs out at the end of next season, will be extended until 2023.
Courtois has been a long-term target of Real Madrid but the LaLiga champions appear increasingly likely to sign Athletic Bilbao keeper, Kepa Arrizabalaga, in January.
