Top European players are still being courted by Saudi Arabian clubs, with a number of Real Madrid players showing interest in the Middle Eastern country.

Indeed, Saudi Arabia still has their sights set on Vinicius Jr., and rumors of connections to Luka Modric and Antonio Rudiger have also been circulating recently.

Thibaut Courtois is desired by Saudi Arabia.

According to MARCA, Saudi Arabian clubs are now aiming for Thibaut Courtois, a mainstay of Real Madrid, for the 2025–2026 campaign.

The Middle Eastern nation had already expressed interest in the 32-year-old Belgian goalie, but it was unsuccessful.

But now they are ready to give it a try.

Courtois, for his part, is understood to be aware of the interest, although there is no concrete offer sent towards the Real Madrid shot-stopper.

Amidst the growing interest from Saudi Arabia, the report states that Real Madrid want to renew the contract of Courtois.

The 32-year-old is considered one of the best goalkeepers in the game and the Merengues are very happy with his contributions while retaining complete confidence in him.

Courtois’ contract expires in the summer of 2026 and there have been no negotiations as of yet but Real Madrid are sure that they want to offer him a new deal and keep him at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez wants to continue counting on the Belgian and everything indicates that the goalkeeper also wants to stay.

As such, moves could be made in the near future as Los Blancos look to secure the future of one of their most important players.
