Real Madrid, through Zinedine Zidane himself, have communicated to Keylor Navas that the club's first-choice goalkeeper for the 2019-20 season will be Thibaut Courtois, Goal can confirm.
Originally reported by La Sexta, the Costa Rican now looks likely to leave the club in the summer after being told he will no longer be able to fight for the No.1 spot.
Navas' tenacity in proving his worth and overcoming critics in his five years at the club have seen him become a favourite of Zidane's both on and off the pitch but the decision has been made.
