THIBAUT COURTOIS TO REAL MADRID : FULL DETAILS OF £35M TRANSFER TO BRING CHELSEA GOALKEEPER TO THE BERNABEU

Real Madrid are closing in on Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.
The Belgian made clear his intentions to leave the Stamford Bridge club early into this summer's transfer window, before he went on to represent his nation at the World Cup in Russia.
Courtois was a no show for Chelsea's Community Shield defeat by Manchester City on the weekend, before he then went AWOL on Monday.
The shot-stopper was due to attend the Blues' Cobham HQ for training, but defied his club, and was later pictured in Marbella.
Courtois is now on the verge of signing for Real Madrid in a deal worth £35million.
Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri refused to shed light on the future of the keeper after his side's penalty shoot-out win against Lyon on Tuesday.
"I don't know in this moment," said Sarri. "I want to speak with my club and then we will decide about it. I am here to talk about this match."
