Zidane counts on Keylor Navas LaLiga - Real Madrid Costa Rican has full backing

Real Madrid had reached an agreement with Kepa Arrizabalaga, a great goalkeeper, and he was to be signed in this winter transfer market.

It was a good operation truncated incomprehensibly by the Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane.

Once Iker Casillas had been moved on, Los Blancos have stumbed in the search of an appropriate replacement.

The David de Gea fax episode, the agreement with Thibaut Courtois... and now Kepa's contract renewal with Athletic Club.

Zidane has two good goalkeepers, Keylor Navas and Kiko Casilla, and though they have won titles with Navas, he is not the goalkeeper of the future for Real Madrid.

The Costa Rican has the full backing of his French coach so one hopes it will work out well, or else the pressure will take its toll on Zidane and, what is worse, on Madrid.

Real haven't acted correctly in the Kepa case, and it's left the youngster in a very bad place.

The great beneficiary of the operation has been Athletic Club, because they're left with a No.1 who'll played with them for years and who now has a prohibitive 80 millions euros release clause.

So, Kepa is already history but Real Madrid still need two top goalkeepers.

The best around are Jan Oblak, Courtois and De Gea, and one of these three will join the club next season.

De Gea is the most desirable given that it's almost impossible for Oblak to come because of his contractual relationship with Atletico, a similar situation to Courtois.

Now we just have to wait and see if Navas can respond in the second half of the season because Zidane has made it clear that the Costa Rican is his man.
