Courtois, 29, began his third season at the club on Saturday with a 4-1 win away at Alaves, his 100th competitive game for Los Blancos.
He joined the club for €35 million from Chelsea in the summer of 2018, having previously spent three years in LaLiga on loan at Atletico Madrid from 2011 to 2014.
Initially, he alternated with Keylor Navas under then-coach Zinedine Zidane, before becoming undisputed No. 1 at Bernabeu.
Sources have told ESPN that with a new contract for Courtois agreed, a renewal for Karim Benzema is next on the club's to-do list, with an announcement expected soon.
