Real Madrid have snubbed Eden Hazard as they tabled an £100million bid to sign Chelsea’s duo of Thibaut Courtois and Willian.
The Champions League holders have been relentlessly pursuing Courtois with the Belgian international keen on returning to the Spanish capital.
Also, Willian has been chased by Europe’s elite clubs after an impressive World Cup with Brazil, with Manchester United been eager to add him in their attacking options next season.
Daily Mail reports that Chelsea are close to letting the pair move to the Santiago Bernabeu in the coming days.
Real Madrid are willing to cough out £65m for the 29-year-old as part of their double swoop.
Julen Lopetegui is keen on building his side around Gareth Bale following Cristiano Ronaldo’s exit and views Willian as the perfect foil to the Welshman.
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.
