Jack Butland is among Chelsea's list of potential new goalkeepers should
Thibaut Courtois leave the club this summer, according to Sky sources.
The England goalkeeper, who played backup to Jordan Pickford at the World
Cup, is believed to be available at the right price this summer - but Stoke
believe he is worth the same money that Pickford joined Everton for, around
£30m.
Leicester, whose own No 1 Kasper Schmeichel is understood to be another
Chelsea target, are also thought to be keen on Butland along with Crystal
Palace, but Butland is keen to join a top-six Premier League club.
The 25-year-old is currently on holiday following the World Cup and is due
back at the end of the week. As things stand, Butland will begin pre-season
training with the Potters next Monday.
New Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri has said he will seek talks with Chelsea's
wantaway players, which also include Eden Hazard and Willian.
But Sky Sports Spanish football expert Guillem Balague said last week that
Real Madrid want to sign Courtois and Chelsea are prepared to let him go.
