Chelsea and Real Madrid ‘reach agreement’ over Courtois switch

Chelsea and Real Madrid have reportedly reached an agreement for Thibaut Courtois to move to the Bernabeu.

Los Blancos are ready to splurge between €35million and €40million to lure the Belgian to the Spanish capital, according to Mundo Deportivo.

But Chelsea will need to have a replacement lined up before cashing in on Courtois, and Liverpool have thrown a spanner in the works by launching a £62million bid for Blues target Alisson.

Roma are believed to be holding out for £67million for the in-demand Brazilian shot-stopper.

Courtois, who impressed for Belgium at the World Cup, has openly courted a move away from Stamford Bridge and has just a year remaining on his contract.

Real have money to spend after cashing in on Cristiano Ronaldo who has joined Juventus in a blockbuster £100million deal.

Courtois’ children still live in Madrid with his ex-wife with the keeper having previously plied his trade at Atletico.

Real have previously tried to land David De Gea but the Spaniard has stayed put at Manchester United and looks unlikely to leave Old Trafford any time soon.
