The hint dropped by the star clearly indicates that he wants to join Real Madrid this summer and he is ready to make that jump finally. Reports now suggest that Los Blancos have agreed a deal with Chelsea and the move will be official soon.

The report also adds that the official announcement will take place this month itself and it will be right after the Europa League final. Daily Mail add that the transfer will cost around £86 million (€100 million) – Chelsea's record sale for a player.
