Thibaut Courtois Feels he Deserves Better Contract at Chelsea

Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is in the form of his life after a stellar FIFA World Cup 2018 in Russia.

The Belgian shot-stopper did no harm to his reputation at the mega event. He only managed to increase his stakes amongst the top goalkeepers in the world.

Courtois now suggested that Chelsea will need to increase their contract offer to ensure he stays at Stamford Bridge. The Blues are currently in a transition after sacking Antonio Conte. At this point, the new manager, Maurizio Sarri has plenty of things to look after.

One of his primary goals is to ensure both Eden Hazard and Thibaut Courtois remain at the club. Hazard has continuously been linked with a move to Real Madrid after Ronaldo’s exit. On the other hand, Courtois is the most sought-after goalie in the world right now after winning Golden Glove in Russia.

He was offered a new long-term contract worth around £200,000-a-week. However, Courtois believes he has proven his form at the World Cup and deserved a better deal.

“I will go back and I will see what they want and how they say it,” he said, according to the Telegraph. “Obviously, with this World Cup, I think what was on the table is different than what I can have.

“In this World Cup, I have ignored all the speculation, all the rumours. But now, in the next few days, I will have a chat with my agent and see what Chelsea told him, and then we will talk. But I feel happy at Chelsea, it’s not that I necessarily want to leave.”

The 26-year old has been a cornerstone in helping Belgium finish third at the World Cup. He will now have to adapt to new manager Sarri, who received praise for the brand of football he introduced at Napoli.

The one-touch football he philosophised at Napoli could make Chelsea get back to the top once again. And Thibaut Courtois has revealed the sacking of Antonio Conte does not come as a surprise for the team.

“The decision [to sack Conte] was made a few days ago, but I think as a group we expected that to happen earlier because we heard what the board said to us already after the season and then it took until now,” Courtois added.

“I don’t think it’s easy for a new manager to come in and shape us in a few weeks. I think fans need to understand we will need some time to adapt to the new manager and a different style.”

Chelsea had failed to qualify for Champions League twice in three years. The team needs a new direction after looking clueless last season. Sarri could be the man who will be hoping to change the fortune in West London.
