Incoming Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has reportedly granted goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois permission to leave the club this summer.
The Belgium international is believed to be keen to move to another club after a failed defence of the Premier League title and Chelsea's inability to secure a Champions League spot for next season.
According to The Mirror, the breakdown in his relationship with goalkeeping coach Christophe Lollichon is also a reason for Courtois wanting to leave, and now Conte is willing to let him go if the club receive a reasonable offer.
Last summer, Chelsea tried to warn off potential suitors by reportedly placing an asking price of £73m on Courtois, but that figure could fall when the transfer window reopens at the end of the season.
Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain have been touted as potential destinations for Courtois.
