PSG Offer Real Madrid Blank Cheque to Sign Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois

• Paris Saint-Germain are planning a stunning swoop for Real Madrid star Thibaut Courtois
• Courtois has emerged as the top target for the Parisians as they plan to revamp their squad
• The Belgian goalkeeper is currently tied to Real Madrid until 2026 when his contract expires

Paris Saint-Germain are ready for a massive revamp of their squad ahead of the 2023/24 football season, and their goalkeeping department is set for a shake-up.

The Ligue 1 champions do not believe that Gianluigi Donnarumma is strong enough to be their number one between the posts and have identified Real Madrid goalie Thibaut Courtois as their preferred target.

According to Sportskeeda, PSG have now offered Los Blancos a blank cheque for the Belgian goalkeeper who still has a contract with the Spanish giants until 2026.

Courtois currently has a release clause of €700million, but it is certain the Parisians will not be willing to pay that high an amount to sign the Belgian goalkeeper who was voted as the best goalie for 2022.
