Real Madrid, Courtois reveals why he left Chelsea
"The decision to leave was made already in March. When I think of Chelsea, I'm very happy. However, I decided to return to Spain in order to be closer to my children. This is very important to me," Courtois concluded.
Chelsea replaced the Belgian with Kepa Arrizabalaga, paying the hefty €80m release clause to Athletic Bilbao.
