So, we know the following:

• TC has seen both Chelsea and Genk agree a fee for the player, believed to be £7.9 million.
• He is today undergoing the second part of his medical at Cobham - meaning personal terms will be agreed shortly.

Latest rumour has it that he is to go out on loan to Atletico Madrid - possibly for two-three seasons.

"...Chelsea will lend me the first year and it is likely to Atletico Madrid. I must normally be my first chance as goalkeeper. Depending on my performance, I will maybe half and third years to borrow then be included in the core at Chelsea. "

This means our board is in contact with AM, which hopefully means we are in negotiations over Aguero while we're already there.

COURTOIS UNDERGOING MEDICAL

COURTOIS UNDERGOING MEDICAL

Posted on: Mon 18 Jul 2011

Andre Villas-Boas has confirmed Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is undergoing a medical in England after we agreed terms with RC Genk for the transfer of the 19-year-old on Sunday.

Speaking after arriving in Kuala Lumpur on the club's pre-season tour, Villas-Boas said: 'At this moment he is having a medical but has not yet agreed personal terms.'

Courtois, who won the Belgian Goalkeeper of the Year and RC Genk Player of the Year awards last season, made his debut in 2009 while still 16, and has been a member of his national team's squad for the recent European Championship qualifier against Turkey.

It is not expected that he will join up with the squad in Asia should the transfer be completed in time.

Reliable Belgofoot had this to say on twitter :

"Thibaut Courtois tells HNB that he will probably go on loan to Athletico, and it could be for 2 or 3 seasons "

I was inclined to seeing him on the bench rightaway after Hilario and Turnbull’s recent quirks against Pompey . Moreover ,our interest in Begovich in the Jan window goes to show our faith in the backups we have to Cech . If Big Pete is out injured , we’re totally f**ked . Ah well , good for Courtois’ development I suppose.

Now if only the suits had a brainwave to try and figure out how to include Aguero into the negotiations .

Aguero is all but City's, I'm led to believe. Tevez is about to join Corinthians and Mancini has already spoken about Kun, whose agent incidentally says things will be settled in one week. Another stumbling block : Kun's wages at Leti are £240,000 a week!

Did you not watch the Pompey game

Actually no i didn't i was out.

From twitter :

@CFCFanatic I can learn more in Spain than in Belgium - Courtois #chelsea #CFC #valencia

@CFCFanatic with GK Cech I exchanged words - Courtois #chelsea #CFC

@CFCFanatic Lampard and Terry struck immediately talk to me - Courtois #chelsea #CFC

@CFCFanatic I was already presented to the players - Courtois #chelsea #CF

if there is any truth in the atleti link and if we want kun then i hope he is being used as a make weight

You're probably right, going by Mancini's recent quotes

What a bummer too . We've been chasing Aguero for about 3/4 summers now and the one where he finally decides to pack up and leave – we aren't even in the running as it stands. For me , its a no-brainer , Anelka much as I like the kind of versatile forward play he brings to the squad is getting old and could find a place at the MLS . Kalou well , is Kalou , could get some resale on him. Aguero and Sturridge , direct replacements for Anelka and Kalou for me . Stuzza lets face it is likely going to get a wide position as he's always going to be behind Drogba and Torres in the pecking order, that is if he doesn't leave on loan again .

Anyway getting back on topic :

Courtois :

Chelsea will lend me the first year and it is likely to Atletico Madrid

http://translate.goo...a0-44bf8109e6ca

" Thibaut Courtois gave last night from London explanation of his remarkable transfer. "I'm sorry for the teammates and the fans that I'm not really able to take leave," said the goalkeeper great talent on the phone.

But Genk left us no choice. I regret that they make me black. They should just hand in our own house stabbing and wondering what they are doing. What they gave me in discussions about a contract extension was really little. While I still had a strong hold last season. Then I had already decided that I would not stay. Genk was then always close the door for transfer talks. They all told us what happened. I think that is very unfortunate for them. "

Courtois denies that he chose the money. "People now think I am going to tackle money in the bank at Chelsea. It is not. I can now sports a faster step upward. Chelsea will lend me the first year and it is likely to Atletico Madrid. I must normally be my first chance as goalkeeper. Depending on my performance, I will maybe half and third years to borrow then be included in the core at Chelsea. "

As in Playstation

That core of Chelsea yesterday met Courtois al "They left just before a trip to Asia. I have seen everyone in the cafeteria. Trainer Villas-Boas knew me from when I played against Porto in European Genk. I also spoke equally with the first goalkeeper Petr Cech and also said goodbye to Drogba, Lampard and Terry. It was crazy. Normally I play on the PlayStation with all those men and suddenly I was among them. Last year I had them not even dare to dream. "

Thibaut Courtois (19) has yesterday been a part of the medical tests were carried out at Chelsea. Today, following a second part, after which he officially trades in Genk for Chelsea. The young goalie will sign for five years. Perhaps the tall goalkeeper did not last long walk around London. Chelsea would immediately lend it to Atletico Madrid after the departure of De Gea to Manchester United is looking for a new line item.

Some newspapers were Thibaut Courtois last night on the phone. He was impressed by his first hours at Chelsea. "I had to go into my arm, pinching when I was the goalkeeper coach a tour was at the training complex. I was also equally acquainted with coach Villas-Boas, who I knew from the European game of Genk against his former team Porto. "

"I was already presented to the players. Lampard and Terry struck immediately talk to me. And Drogba said he saw on TV how at the Genk championship celebration on a fence jump. Even with goalkeeper Petr Cech I exchanged a few words."

Atletico

Thibaut Courtois puts the move to a European power, but Chelsea has borrowed its acquisition plans. If all goes well, with Courtois Atletico Madrid park. "It's better for me. I had to choose the easiest option and one year in Genk remain, but the opportunity I could not leave," says Courtois. "Atletico is another world and my place again I will have to enforce, but that's how it goes at the top. I can learn more in Spain than in Belgium."

Genk on his part was bitter after his transfer to Chelsea because Courtois forced chose a loan and not turn to the Belgian champion. That is unfortunate Courtois: "I wish they would not see you walking. And I remember what gave me all Genk. For me, playing is more than financial reasons, because the sport step counts."

Crumbs

Father Thierry Courtois explains: "When someone too much emotion in the negotiations put, it's Genk director Degraen. I felt Genk all wanted, and the player crumbs remained. I do not think we are beyond the decency exceeded. I think that the role of Thibaut in Genk title underestimated. He wanted to keep it on loan, but the proposal was too minute he saw the scenario Chelsea are right. " (Ypu)

Mancini can say what he wants but it doesn't mean that it will happen.

Imo if we are interested in Aguero we have bigger chances than City, because of Courtois.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Am I right in saying this is the first time our website has confirmed a medical is being undergone instead of waiting till after the world knows?

[LDN Blue 7,903]

I'd be very surprised if it's anything to do with Aguero.

Same here. Wishful thinking in my opinion.

Exactly what I was wondering haha. Certainly makes for a change, a nice one at that.

I say again, we don't need Aguero when we have soo many strikers.

First sell, or make sure we will sell before we buy.

We already continue being linked with Lukaku.

There is no need for Aguero.

Aguero at City makes sense.
