Barcelona powerbrokers split over Chelsea keeper Courtois

Barcelona are keen for Chelsea to name their price for Thibaut Courtois.

On-loan at Atletico Madrid, Courtois has emerged as one of the best young goalkeeping talents in Europe and attracting serious interest from Barca president Sandro Rosell.

Barca need to find a replacement for Victor Valdes, who will leave Barca at the end of this season.

Rosell sees Courtois as the ideal replacement, but that's in conflict to sports director Andoni Zubizarreta, who rates Borussia Monchengladbach's Marc-Andre ter Stegen as the superior talent.
