Real Madrid Set to Extend Thibaut Courtois Contract Until 2028
Real Madrid are close to reaching an agreement with star goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois over a contract extension that would keep him at the club until the summer of 2028, according to Football España.
The current deal of the 32-year-old Belgian runs until 2026, but Los Blancos are prepared to break from their usual policy of offering only one-year contracts to players over 30. The new proposal would add two more years, underlining Courtois’ importance and elite status at the Bernabéu.

Despite a turbulent season for Real Madrid, Courtois has remained a model of consistency and is still considered one of the best goalkeepers in world football. The club values his leadership and composure.
Real Madrid's Goalkeeping Situation
The situation is further complicated by the uncertain future of Andriy Lunin, who may leave this summer in search of more regular football. If that happens, Real Madrid are reportedly monitoring Joan Garcia of Espanyol as a possible reinforcement in goal.
The extension for Courtois is expected to be finalised in the coming weeks—possibly even days—ensuring he stays with the club until he turns 35.
