OKdiario: Keylor Navas' planned Premier League switch is off.. for now
The Real Madrid stopper had already agreed terms on a move to England but following Zidane's return has put those plans on hold
According to 'OKdiario', Keylor Navas had agreed terms on a move to the Premier League. However, following the return of Zinedine Zidane to the dugout, the Costa Rican has put those plans on hold.
Thibaut Courtois, who was first choice at Madrid up until Zidane's arrival, was dropped to the bench and Keylor handed a rare start in LaLiga. He backed up his manager's decision but putting on a great performance.
Under Solari, Keylor knew he wasn't going to get a chance to regain his place amongst the sticks. He began speaking to a host of clubs, mainly from the Premier League, and even told some that he would definitely be leaving Spain in the summer.
Navas is happy in Madrid but won't sit on the bench to make up the numbers. Now with Zidane in charge it's made the keeper reconsider his options and feels he'll be given an opportunity to claim that number one jersey again.
