The agent of Thibaut Courtois has suggested that the goalkeeper has told Chelsea that he wants to leave Stamford Bridge this summer.
Courtois has been heavily linked with a switch to Real this summer, and Chelsea find themselves in a position where they must sell the stopper in the coming days or lose the Belgium international on a free at the end of June.
Reports have indicated that Chelsea are leaning towards keeping the 26-year-old in West London, but the player's representative claims that the Premier League side have received 'an offer to accept' from the European champions.
Christophe Henrotay told The Sun: "I have been reading everywhere that Chelsea are saying it is up to Thibaut, but he has made it clear to the club that the best option for him is to move to Madrid.
"For him this is a big decision because he wants to be near his family, and there is an offer in place for Chelsea to accept."
Head coach Maurizio Sarri has acknowledged that he is unsure whether Courtois will remain at Chelsea for the upcoming campaign.
