Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has ruled out a departure for one of his stars, who reportedly handed in a transfer request this week.
It seems Thibaut Courtois is Zidane's number one choice between the sticks, which has feulled speculation that he could leave before the transfer window close.
Los Blancos have already loaned out young goalkeepers, Andriy Lunin and Luca Zidane for the upcoming season and the manager does not want to see the Costa Rican leave.
“I cannot imagine the team without Keylor Navas, I don't contemplate his exit,” Zidane told reporters, according to Marca.
“He has always been an important player for us. Keylor hasn't told me he wants to leave. He is here and the outside is something which he cannot control.
“He is happy here and wants to show that he can play here. He is a professional and I will count on him. Until matchday two he will talk a lot, but I know that Keylor is going to bring us a lot this season.”
