Thibaut Courtois has told Chelsea that he wants to join Real Madrid this summer for family reasons, his agent Christophe Henrotay has said.
Chelsea are reluctant to sell goalkeeper Courtois, who is in the final year of his contract, without first securing a replacement, but their top target Alisson was signed for £65 million by Liverpool last month.
Courtois has made no secret of his desire to spend more time with his two children who live with his former partner in Madrid, and also told Marca in September 2016 that he considers himself "half-Spanish" after spending three years on loan with Atletico.
