Real Madrid president Florentino makes final decision between Courtois and Alisson

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez wants to sign Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois this summer.

Florentino has been considering both Courtois and AS Roma's Alisson Becker as he seeks a new keeper signing.

However, Marca says he has now made a final decision and will focus on settling terms with Chelsea over a fee for Courtois.

Roma are demanding €70-80m to sell Alisson, while Florentino is confident he can agree a deal with Chelsea for Courtois in the region of €35m.

With the Belgian now inside the final year of his contract, the president knows Chelsea must sell now or face losing their keeper for nothing in 12 months' time.
