Zidane ready to go with Keylor over Courtois at Real Madrid long-term

The future of Thibaut Courtois at Real Madrid is in serious doubt under coach Zinedine Zidane.

AS says Zidane has seen enough from Keylor Navas since his return to convince him the Costa Rican can be counted on next season. And with Courtois out injured, Zidane has called up son Luca Zidane in his absence, having handed him a LaLiga debut.

It's now emerging that Zidane is ready to declare Keylor his No1 for next season, with Courtois his understudy. This despite the €35m president Florentino Perez spent on the former Chelsea goalkeeper last summer.

"I will not allow there to be a debate on the goalkeeper next season, it will be very clear," Zidane recently declared.

It's also suggested Andriy Lunin, currently on-loan with Leganes, will be allowed to move on this summer, having arrived following Zidane's original resignation last year.
