Thibaut Courtois has urged Real Madrid to sign Eden Hazard over Neymar in the summer. The World Cup Golden Glove winner joined Real Madrid in the summer of 2018 and it is expected that his compatriot will join him this summer.

And Courtois wants just that but also added that the final decision lies in the hands of the club’s management.

"I [would] choose Eden, of course. I really like him, but the choice is up to the board. I do not know what will happen. That is not a question for me, but for the chairman and the management," he said.

Of late, Barcelona have outspent their Galactico rivals. When asked about Barcelona’s strategy, Courtois was of the opinion that there is no point in looking at another club’s transfer policy.

For him, Real Madrid will have to think about themselves and also keep the Financial Fair Play in mind. He also added that since Barcelona have already spent more money than they made from the sale of Neymar, there is a good chance that the Catalans will have to sell some of their players.

"We do not have to look at other teams, we have to look at ourselves," he said. "We have to build a new team.

"Who knows [whether] other teams will get into trouble with the rules of Financial Fair Play?

"If you see that Barcelona have already spent twice the amount they have received for Neymar, they may have to sell again soon."

Only the summer will tell whether the assumption of the Belgian is correct or not.
