Will Thibaut Courtois get a memorial at Atletico Madrid?

Key Highlights

• Courtois will not be on that list, failing to meet the criteria for inclusion.
• As a result, his current plaque is to be removed—a symbolic act that merely finalizes what fans have expressed for years.
• In the past, supporters routinely vandalized the tribute whenever Courtois returned to play against Atlético with Real Madrid. This move to sever historical ties comes as the club looks firmly to the future.
• The board remains focused on securing a new contract for their Argentine manager, seeing him as the central figure for both the present and future of the team. In other squad news, a departure seems imminent: 30-year-old Norwegian striker Alexander Sørloth is reportedly poised to leave Atlético Madrid for a move to Turkish side Fenerbahçe in the upcoming winter transfer window.
