Courtois wants Hazard to join Madrid

The prolific shot-stopper made this known during his unveiling at the Bernabeu.

“If he can come, it would be fantastic,” he said.

“He is very happy that I am here, he is a great player and I would like to be always at his side, let’s see what happens in the future.”

Courtois also says he understands that he will have to compete for the first choice spot at Madrid.

“Nobody is guaranteed to be a starter, thinking that would be a mistake,” he said.

“First you have to prove it in training and I think it has to be like that.

“Nowhere have I been given guarantees to play. I’ve come here to compete to the fullest.

“When I joined Chelsea I had to replace Petr Cech. I still talk to him today, he’s a friend.

“The goalkeepers are a separate group in a locker room, we get along and come to compete as best we can.”
