Chelsea star tells new boss Antonio Conte: Sack this man or sell me

THIBAUT COURTOIS has held talks with Antonio Conte about his Chelsea plans.

Thibaut Courtois is thought to be unhappy at Chelsea

Courtois' future at Chelsea is under threat after he reportedly fell out with goalkeeping coach Christophe Lollichon.

Express Sport understands Chelsea are open to offers for the Belgium international, but have slapped a staggering £73million price tag on his head.

Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid and Barcelona are all keen on Courtois, who has had a disappointing season at Stamford Bridge.

The 23-year-old has publicly stated his intention to remain at Chelsea but reports suggest new boss Conte has accepted he will have to sell him this summer.

The Sun claim Courtois has spoken with the incoming Italian, who told the shot-stopper he wants to keep him.

But Courtois apparently indicated he would only wish to stay with the Blues if he could work with a new coach after losing confidence in 53-year-old Lollichon.

The Mail add that the pair have 'not got on all season', leading Courtois to consider his options.

Lollichon and former Chelsea keeper Petr Cech were close, before the Czech Republic hero left for Arsenal last summer.

Conte is bringing five of his own backroom staff with him to Chelsea - brother and tactical analyst Gianluca, long-term assistants Angelo Alessio and Massimo Carrera, scout Mauro Sandreani and fitness expert Paolo Bertelli.

But Chelsea are said to have made it clear Lollichon will remain under Conte, 46, after he asked the club if he could change the keeper coach in an effort to retain Courtois.

And now Conte is thought to be beginning to resign himself to having to sell Chelsea's current No 1 this summer.

Courtois is not interested in the PSG project but could return to Spain with old club Atletico Madrid or Real Madrid. Barcelona is another possible option.
