Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher has agreed to join Atletico Madrid.
The Blues had accepted a £33m offer from the Spanish side last week but there were significant concerns about whether the England international was interested in making the move.
But on Sunday night Gallagher, 24, told Atletico officials he is happy to make the switch.
The Chelsea academy product is now expected to fly and complete his medical and contract signing, which would end his 18-year spell at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea had offered a two-year deal with an option for an extra year, but it was deemed unfavourable by Gallagher due to both the length of the contract and the inferior squad role offered.
