Speaking in the mixed zone following Belgium's 0-0 draw against Iran during the 2026 World Cup, Courtois was candid about his emotional connection to the club. "It depends on what the club wants. I have a lot of respect for what they do. I hope to be able to finish my career there, in four or five years, we'll see. It's my dream, obviously. When I was a child, I dreamed of playing for Real. I've been there for eight years now and I'm very happy," the Belgian international said.
