Antonio Conte has given Chelsea the green light to sell Thibaut Courtois.
Incoming Blues boss Conte is willing to offload the keeper if the club receive a reasonable offer.

The Belgium international’s strained relationship with goalkeepers' coach Christophe Lollichon is one factor behind his discontent. He is also unhappy about missing out on the Champions League next season because of the defending Premier League champions' dismal defence of the title.
