Last week, Spanish media outlets revealed that Zinedine Zidane had held talks with four players to discuss their immediate future. The French boss did not stop there, and new reports by Marca and As have revealed one more name that will have to search for other employment opportunities.
Since he took over as coach, Zidane revealed that there would be no debate next year about who would be the team's No.1 goalkeeper. The French tactician has already spoken to Keylor Navas, and the Costa Rican goalie will be the one to leave the club this summer.
According to Marca and As, Zidane told the 3-time UEFA Champions League winner that he will no longer be his first choice to defend the team's net, which will force him to leave the club. Navas kept 52 clean sheets since he joined Los Blancos, and he will be handed a farewell match on Sunday, when Zidane's men say goodbye to a disappointing season against Betis.
With this decision, Zidane has already ended one of the most complicated issues for the club in the past few years, but given Navas' legacy, it remains to be seen if Courtois can take over and be as successful as the Costa Rican once was, even if he had to face serious questioning by fans and experts.
