Thibaut Courtois sad with treatment by Chelsea fans

Real Madrid News

Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is reported to be unhappy with the way he's being treated by Chelsea fans following his transfer to Real Madrid this summer. 

The World Cup golden glove winner said his move to Real Madrid has been on the line since March.

He faced backlash from Chelsea fans when he failed to return for training earlier this season in what can be likened to an attempt to force a move away from the English side.

"It makes me feel sad. Obviously they don't know all the truth," he told reporters following Belgium's win over Scotland.

"I think in March the decision was already made and I thought the club would accept it.

"Then because the transfer was close I didn't show up for training because I thought it was better not to disturb the squad. I didn't want it to be toxic.

"Obviously it's a pity because I love Chelsea. I loved playing there."

MY OPINION

Thibaut Courtois before his move to Real Madrid was regarded so much by Chelsea fans - this you could tell with vigorous jubilation when he won the 2018 World Cup Goalkeeper of the Tournament.

His transfer to Real Madrid was seen by many as a betrayal of their trust for them, especially when he's left with just a year on his contract.

Many felt his transfer should have commanded a huge fee, and because he has stalled on signing a new contract, of which they blamed him for.

What infuriates many was the fact that they felt he was also trying to force move away for their idol Eden Hazard.

Thibaut Courtois should just get over it and move on, every great players move on at a particular point in their career.
