Barcelona in contact with Chelsea for Courtois

Barcelona are tracking Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois while he's on-loan at Atletico Madrid. The Mirror says Courtois has been lined up by Barcelona as their long-term No1.

Barca have made an enquiry about the highly-rated 21-year-old Belgian, who joined the west Londoners from Genk in his homeland in 2011 but has yet to play for them.

La Liga champions Barcelona are looking at trying to find a successor for Victor Valdes, and Liverpool's Pepe Reina - currently on loan at Napoli - and now Courtois are among the contenders.
