Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella has made the decision to leave the Blues during the upcoming transfer window, according to The Athletic.
The west London giants had a disastrous Premier League campaign as they finished 10th in the table following a final-day defeat to Sunderland.
The Blues have announced Xabi Alonso as their new manager from July, but Cucurella is still determined to pursue a new challenge elsewhere.
The left-back has his sights on returning to the Spanish La Liga with Real Madrid among his main admirers. They have spoken with his agents.
Barcelona are likewise keen on a reunion with their former graduate, while it has been claimed that Atletico Madrid are keeping tabs on him as well.
Manchester City were linked with the Spaniard in the past, but they are unlikely to enter the pursuit after the emergence of Nico O'Reilly.
Chelsea are expected to demand at least £60m for his summer exit.
