Antonio Conte will allow Thibaut Courtois to join Real Madrid if he gets to sign Alvaro Morata in exchange, according to reports.

The Sun claim that the Chelsea manager views the 24-year-old as his ideal striker and would provide stiff competition for Diego Costa.

Madrid have made the signing of Courtois their top priority for the summer transfer window, with Manchester United set to activate a one-year contract extension for David De Gea.

The Champions League holders are ready to spend big in order to land the Belgium international and would be prepared to allow Morata to leave for Stamford Bridge to help push the deal through.
