Antonio Conte is frustrated that Chelsea have failed to sort out the future of Thibaut Courtois with the Real Madrid target worryingly stalling on signing a new contract.

Labelling him one of the world’s greatest goalkeepers, Conte wants his club's bosses to solve the situation by tying the 25-year-old Belgian down to a new deal.

As it stands, Courtois will enter the last year of his contract this summer – a scenario which will encourage the European champions in Madrid.

Real are hopeful he will be tempted to return to the Spanish capital, with the £70million-rated shot-stopper having spent three years there while on loan at Atletico.
