The Catalan outfit are weighing the prospect of testing Chelsea’s resolve over their on-loan goalkeeper, Thibaut Courtois.
Belgian goalkeeper, Thibaut Courtois, is reported to be on the radar of Spanish giants Barcelona, following his impressive displays at loan club Atletico Madrid.
Courtois is contracted to European champions Chelsea and has been loaned out to Spanish outfit Atletico Madrid.
The Belgian shot-stopper also spent the previous season on loan with the Rojiblancos, and put in a number of master class performances to earn some true recognition.
Courtois was signed by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 form Genk last summer and the deal was reported to be in the region of 8 million pounds.
Following his impressive performances for the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vicente-c36001 Calderon side, he is regarded as one of the top young goalkeepers in the world.
Chelsea have also stated that they might call Courtois back to his home club as his performances will certainly attract interest.
If reports are to be believed, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 have also entered in to the fray for the young keeper and are lining him up as the future replacement for Victor Valdez.
Chelsea are caught between two minds as whether to bring the Belgian home, or to sell him elsewhere.
Atletico Madrid have had a great season so far and their man between the sticks is considered to be as much responsible for their success, as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Radamel-Falcao-c30276 is credited.
The capital side are currently sitting second in La Liga standings, 9 points behind table topping Barcelona.
Los Rojiblancos are also having a season to be proud of as they are above their cross town rivals Real Madrid in the charts, and top them by 4 points.
Courtois is contracted to Chelsea till 2016 and the Chelsea fans will not consider the prospect of their talented young man leaving for another destination, as Peter Cech is reported to undergo a surgery at the end of this season.
Courtois is also a confident fellow as ahead of their match with the Catalan giants at the weekend, he insisted that he did not fear http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296, however he stated that he respected the Argentine forward for the talent that he possesses.
