#3 Thibaut Courtois
Thibaut Courtois has long been linked with a potential move to Real Madrid and as things stand, it appears only to be a matter of time before the newsworthy announcement is made.
Presently, the Chelsea shot-stopper is in his last year of contract and is reluctant to renew with the English club.
Courtois has revealed that his children still live in the Spanish capital following his time at Real's rivals Atletico a few years ago, and has communicated his desire to spend more time with them, making a switch to Real Madrid the ultimate decision.
His World Cup showings have also cemented his place as one of the most sought-after goalkeepers in the transfer window as the 26-year-old bagged the Golden Glove by virtue of his sterling performances between the sticks for Belgium.
Consequently, Real Madrid are in intense pursuit of the former Atletico Madrid goalkeeper.
