Thibaut Courtois will be in Real Madrid on Thursday ahead of completing a move to the club.

The Belgium goalkeeper is yet to report to Chelsea after the World Cup in Russia even though his compatriot, Eden Hazard arrived to Chelsea early this week.

Courtois, who has less than year remaining on his current contract at Chelsea, is currently in Belgium awaiting permission from Chelsea to fly to Madrid to undergo a medical.

Chelsea are the verge of signing Athletic Bilbao’s  goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga, who has bought himself out of his contract in Bilbao, as a replacement for Courtois.
