His recent performances with Real Madrid, in which he has not been able to keep a clean sheet, combined with the injury that has kept him out of some matches, have had an impact on the market value of Thibaut Courtois, who has not been able to reach the same level he showed almost a year ago with his national team in the World Cup.
The goalkeeper was signed by Madrid one season ago from Chelsea for 35 million euros, although that figure would surely be much lower now, as there are other goalkeepers who are above the "blancos".
According to the website "Transfermarkt," a specialized website in transfers, currently the goalkeeper of Atletico Madrid, Jan Oblak, is the most expensive in world football. Taking him away from the Wanda Metropolitano would cost any interested club nothing less than 100 million euros.
And above Courtois, there are still five more goalkeepers, who come from LaLiga Santander and the Premier League.
Do you suffer from anxiety?
On Friday, Real Madrid was forced to issue a statement denying rumors that their goalkeeper suffered from chronic anxiety, while also informing about what happened to him in last Tuesday's match against Club Brugge from Belgium in the Champions League.
Courtois suffered from "acute gastroenteritis with dehydration and electrolyte imbalance," which forced him to be substituted on Tuesday at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium.
