Conor Gallagher will fly to Spain on Monday to proceed with a transfer to Atletico Madrid.
Chelsea accepted a deal in the region of £34m from the LaLiga club last week and could not find consensus with the player over new contract terms to keep him at Stamford Bridge.
Two other top six Premier League clubs asked Chelsea about Gallagher in the past few days but he has decided to join Atletico Madrid.
Gallagher made his final decision to join Atletico Madrid just one minute before the deadline of the weekend.
Should talks progress smoothly and a medical be completed, he is expected to sign a five-year contract.
Chelsea accepted a larger bid from Aston Villa for Gallagher this summer, but he decided to reject a move to Villa Park and stay at Stamford Bridge. Spurs remain interested in Gallagher.
Chelsea would prefer to sell him to a club abroad rather than a Premier League rival.
