Bengaluru, May 16: Keylor Navas looks set to depart from Santiago Bernabeu this summer after being told by Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane that fellow teammate Thibaut Courtois would be the first choice next season.
Navas lost his place as the first choice this season after the arrival of Courtois. However, since Zidane's return in the side, the French man again started putting the shot-stopper in front of goal. He started five matches in April, but Courtois has since reclaimed his spot as the No. 1 in goal.
Now, two big names fighting for a single berth seemed to be problematic for the side and reportedly a decision has been made, which has suggested that the French man looks to put faith on the young blood instead.
Brutal for Keylor Navas as he was a fantastic professional and performed at a really high level for Real Madrid. Was never the “marketable” goalkeeper Perez wanted.
