Thibaut Courtois will delay further talks over a new Chelsea contract until the end of the season.
The Belgium international is yet to commit himself to a new deal at Stamford Bridge, despite speaking of his desire to extend his stay during the close-season.
The 25-year-old's contract runs out at the end of next season, but Courtois – who has previously been linked with a move to Real Madrid – is happy for further discussions to wait.
Speaking ahead of Chelsea's Champions League encounter with Qarabag on Wednesday, he said: "The most important thing is to perform well for myself and the team.

"Regarding my contract, that's something where Chelsea must deal with my agent [Christophe Henrotay].
"I don't think there have been any new developments.
"We have so many games at the moment, and I prefer to focus on the team's matches, my own performances, and there will be time enough towards the end of the season to have talks."
