And Chelsea are close to letting the pair move to the Santiago Bernabeu, according to the Daily Mail.

Chelsea are happy to sanction Courtois’ move as long as they can secure a replacement of their own, with Jack Butland looking increasingly likely to fill his gloves at Stamford Bridge. A deal for top target Jordan Pickford – another who impressed at the World Cup – is proving difficult to complete, with Butland viewed as an adequate alternative.

Real Madrid have made Chelsea an opening offer of £100m for goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and midfielder Willian, according to sources in Spain.

The Belgian goalkeeper has made no secret of his desire to move back to the Spanish capital where his children live. He has just one year remaining on his contract at Chelsea.

After an impressive World Cup, 29-year-old Willian looked set to join Barcelona last week but the Catalan club baulked at Chelsea’s £70m asking price and settled on spending half that amount on Bordeaux winger Malcom instead.


Now Madrid want to include Willian in their swoop for Courtois with the Brazilian making up around £65m of the combined fee.

Courtois has been the Spanish club’s No 1 target for some time with the Real Madrid board convinced they will get their man as soon as Chelsea have signed a replacement.

Chelsea have until the August 9 transfer deadline to make a move for a new keeper with Stoke’s Jack Butland easier to sign than first-choice target Jordan Pickford who Everton do not want to release.

Chelsea would then have until the end of the month to tie-up a deal with Madrid to send Courtois to Spain because La Liga’s window will remain open until August 31.

Signing Willian would underline Real Madrid’s intention to free-up Gareth Bale this season.

Meanwhile, Daily Mail claims the Stamford Bridge side are possibly considering to do business with Los Blancos as the Belgian goalkeeper has just 12 months in his deal. The same publication claims Barcelona made three bids for the Brazil winger, with the final £55 million offer snubbed by Roman Abramovich’s people.

Chelsea new boss Maurizio Sarri has however insisted that he has no plans to sell any of his star players - which includes Eden Hazard, who has also been linked with Real. Meanwhile, they will not turn blind eyes to good deal if they got one for any of their players this transfer window. 

Nemanja Matic was allowed to join Manchester United for £40m last summer while Diego Costa was offloaded to Atletico Madrid. And £100m presents a dilemma to the Chelsea hierarchy, who know that the cash could go a long way towards funding moves for a number of Sarri targets including Juventus duo Gonzalo Higuain and Daniele Rugani. Furthermore, reports coming out of the Stamford Bridge claim that the Blues are willing to keep Courtois until his contract with the club expires next summer. A decision considered to help the west London club sort out their goalkeeping issues under the new manager. 

The Blues poached N’Golo Kante and Danny Drinkwater since the Foxes’ title win in 2016, and are confident of thrashing out a deal for the Denmark international should he be required at the Bridge. It was previously reported that Chelsea's Eden Hazard's interest in Real Madrid appears to be coming to an end with the Spanish giants preferring to give greater responsibility to play-maker Isco, AS reports. The Belgian star man has been linked with a move to the Europeans champions after Cristiano Ronaldo joined Juventus this summer. Chelsea had slapped a £200 million fee on their star man’s head, to ward off interest from Madrid.
