Thibaut Courtois is reportedly desperate to leave current club Chelsea and join Spanish giants Barcelona, according to El Mundo Deportivo.
The Belgian shot-stopper is currently on-loan at Atletico Madrid and has been there for the last three seasons. His side are currently leading the race for the La Liga title with just one game left and they also have a Champions League final to contest against rivals Real Madrid.
Diego Simeone’s side have made it public that they want to sign Courtois on a permanent basis, but Chelsea are reportedly unwilling to depart with the Belgian international, despite Petr Cech occupying the number one spot at Stamford Bridge.
