Real Madrid coach Zidane tells Keylor: You must stay

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane admits he doesn't want to lose goalkeeper Keylor Navas.

It's been suggested this week that Keylor has demanded a transfer.

And Zidane said today: "I don't see this squad without him. He is an important player. He always has been and he will be. I do not contemplate that possibility.

"He has not told me that he wants to leave. He is here and wants to play. And that is very important for us. He has always been a professional. We will have many games and we need him.

"I am not interested in who would come because Keylor is going to be here and he will be important. He has always shown it at Real Madrid. He counts and will count, that's the message. I want Keylor to stay with us."
