Top 5 highest paid goalkeepers in the world right now

#3 Thibaut Courtois (Chelsea)

Courtois is one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League

The 25-year-old is one of the best young goalkeepers in the world. He joined Chelsea as a 19-year-old and within weeks of joining, the Belgian was sent on a season-long loan to Atletico Madrid.

He was hugely successful in Spain where he played a key role in Atletico's La Liga triumph in 2013/14. In his 3 years stay with Atletico Madrid, Courtois also won Copa del Rey, UEFA Europa League, and UEFA Super Cup.

Jose Mourinho made him the no.1 goalkeeper at Chelsea during the 2014/15 season. At 6'6", he is a commanding presence in the box. He is quick, has lightning-like reflexes and more often than not, times his runs perfectly when rushing out of the goal to face opponents.

The Belgium international has made 114 appearances for Chelsea in Premier League and has kept 45 clean sheets. Courtois has also won 2 Premier League titles with the London club.

According to the Metro, he currently earns a reported salary of £120,000-a-week at Stamford Bridge and the same report states that Chelsea have offered him a new deal that could make him the world's best-paid goalkeeper.
