Real confirmed Courtois will sign a six-year deal, and announced Kovacic would join the Blues on a season-long loan.

Courtois will be presented as a Real player on Thursday at 1pm, which will end a week of turmoil for the Belgian and Chelsea.

The goalkeeper went AWOL from training and refused to return to London until Chelsea green lit his transfer to Real.

Courtois was desperate to leave Chelsea to live in the same city as his family.
