Real Madrid coach Zidane holds face-to-face talks with Courtois

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane has held face-to-face talks with Thibaut Courtois about his future.

Since his return, replacing Julen Lopetegui after his sacking, Zidane has rotated his keepers Courtois, Keylor Navas and son Luca Zidane. It has led to talk of Courtois being moved on this summer.

However, Okdiario says during a crunch summit, Zidane informed Courtois that he was his No1.

The Frenchman's decision is a blow to Keylor, though he could yet dig in his heels and make an attempt to change Zidane's mind next season.

Luca, meanwhile, is in talks with FC Basel to leave this summer.
