The 24-year-old Belgian signed for Chelsea in 2011 but spent three seasons on loan with Atletico Madrid in La Liga before returning to Stamford Bridge in 2014.
Despite winning the Premier League with the Blues in 2015, Courtois has revealed he wept when he left Spain as he felt a part of the culture.
“I feel half Spanish,” Courtois told Spanish publication Marca. “When I said goodbye, I had a bad time. I had cold blood, it was not easy. I cried.
“Atletico is a family club. I still feel their love.”
Asked if he wanted a return to the Vicente Calderon, the Belgian said: “Yes, but not only because of the club, but how Madrid is and the whole country.”
Courtois did, however, suggest he will see out the rest of his contract which is set to expire in 2018.
“I have a contract at Chelsea for three seasons,” he added. “In 2018, when I enter the final year of the contract, we will assess whether to renew or leave.”
