CHELSEA stars Cesc Fabregas and Pedro have reportedly been giving transfer advice to Thibaut Courtois.
Spanish news outlet Don Balon claim the experienced midfield duo have told the gifted goalkeeper not to join Real Madrid.
It's understood the Spain internationals don't think a move to Real is a sensible option for the 23-year-old.
Courtois has been heavily linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge in the summer.
But speaking yesterday, interim Blues chief Guus Hiddink has played down speculation linking his gifted shot-stopper with a return to Spain.
Hiddink said: "I don't know what he has said - I haven't read it - but formally he is under contract and what I know from him is he and his family like to be in London and at the club.
"It is difficult to react to what has been said - yes or no - or has it been translated or mis-translated.
"I always like to give a comment when I've got an issue that may be a little bit tricky, but I also like to have the opinion of the player as well.
"Sometimes things can be a little bit mis-communicated and then you get a lot of spin off. Knowing him a bit, I don't want to overvalue his comments."
