Transfer Centre

Thibaut Courtois agent: 'No talks held with Paris Saint-Germain'

The agent of Thibaut Courtois insists that the Chelsea keeper has not yet been approached by Paris Saint-Germain over a summer transfer, contrary to reports from Belgium.

Agent Christophe Henrotay has denied rumours that Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is at the centre of transfer talks with Paris Saint-Germain.

Belgian TV station RTBF claimed that PSG have already met with representatives of Courtois regarding a big-money move at the end of the season.

The 25-year-old is soon to enter the final year of his Stamford Bridge contract and has yet to be convinced to extend his current terms, which has also left the door open for Real Madrid to pounce.

Henrotay has moved to shoot down reports that discussions have started between the Parisian moneybags and Courtois, however, and warned any interested parties to first contact Chelsea.

"I have never heard of that meeting," he told reporters. "If any club is interested they know what they have to do - find a deal with Chelsea and then talk to me to check my client interest.

"RTBF is a small TV channel in Belgium and sometimes they like a little thrill to keep them alive. But their information is not correct."

PSG are on the lookout for a new number one as both Alphonse Areola and Kevin Trapp have failed to impress.
