Champions League winners Real Madrid have confirmed the signing of Thibaut Courtois from Chelsea for £35million on a six-year deal.
The goalkeeper will complete his medical on Thursday morning and be presented at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium at 12pm BST, before attending a press conference.
Mateo Kovacic will move in the other direction on a season-long loan once Courtois’ deal has been finalised. A statement from Chelsea read: ‘Chelsea and Real Madrid have tonight agreed terms for the permanent transfer of Thibaut Courtois subject to the agreement of personal terms and passing a medical. Subject to the completion of the deal Mateo Kovacic will join the Blues on a season-long loan.’
