Is the potential return of Thibaut Courtois to the national team solely linked to the fate of Domenico Tedesco? The federation in any case met the Madrilenian last month.
On the sidelines of the upcoming induction of Vincent Mannaert, the CEO of the Belgian Union Peter Willems visited Thibaut Courtois in Madrid a few weeks ago.
If we do not yet know if Willems will succeed in doing what Franky Vercauteren was unable to do, there is no doubt that Courtois is watching with a keen eye what is currently happening around Domenico Tedesco.
It will take a lot to convince him to come back
Even when he speaks to the Spanish media, he is asked about the subject: “A return to the Red Devils? I had a good conversation with them, they wanted to hear what I had to say and I was honest ” declared the Limburger, in comments relayed by the media Madrid Universal.
But he doesn’t really open the door: “I’m happy in Madrid. During the international breaks, I was able to recover. I saw Federico Valverde and Viniciuswho fly 20 hours round trip and come back very tired.”
Will he change his tune if Tedesco were to walk out the door? According to our calculations, it would take a little less than the mentioned 20 hours of flight to South America to make the round trip to Tubize.
