Chelsea are reportedly in talks with Real Madrid over the sale of goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.
Courtois spent three seasons on loan with Atletico Madrid between 2011 and 2014, before returning to parent club Chelsea to replace Petr Cech as their number one goalkeeper.
The 26-year-old has been linked with a move to Real Madrid over the last 12 months or so amid suggestions that he does not want to sign a new contract at Stamford Bridge.
According to Belgium journalist Kristof Terreur, Chelsea and Real Madrid have been in discussions for weeks, and the Belgium international is likely to make the move to the Bernabeu ahead of the 2018-19 campaign.
Courtois, who only has one year left to run on his contract at Chelsea, recently hinted that he wanted to return to Spain in order to be closer to his children.
