Arjen Robben is poised to complete a move to Real Madrid after the Spanish champions agreed a fee with Chelsea. The 23-year-old winger has been linked with the Bernabeu outfit for most of the summer but the fee appeared to be a sticking point between the clubs.
However, Chelsea announced that the transfer had been settled subject to the Dutchman agreeing personal terms on a five-year deal and passing a medical.
Real agreed a deal for Manchester United's Gabriel Heinze hours earlier.
Robben has been at Chelsea since joining from PSV Eindhoven in 2004, scoring 19 goals in 104 appearances at Stamford Bridge.
However, Real president Ramon Calderon has repeatedly expressed an interest in bringing the winger to the Bernabeu.
This summer, Robben was reportedly offered a new Chelsea contract but opted instead to push for a move to the Spanish capital.
