Keylor Navas requests a free transfer from Real Madrid after losing his place to Thibaut Courtois

It is believed that Real Madrid goalkeeper Keylor Navas has asked the club to buy him back from his contract and grant him a free transfer out of the club, after Zinedine Zidane decided to continue with Thibaut Courtois.

The Costa Rican was one of the most reliable options for Zidane during the first French spell, but has since lost his place on the team for the benefit of Courtois. As a result, rumors ran the binder to a move this summer.

According to AS, Navas is incredibly impatient to leave after accepting the fact that first-team chances will be hard to find, to the point that he even asked Real to pay him for the remaining two years of his contract – about 10 million euros – and let him leave the club for free this summer.

He believes he deserves a reward for his loyalty and professionalism since joining the club in 2014, and hopes Real will invite him to leave the club this summer.

Unsurprisingly, the whites were not very enthusiastic about such an idea and quickly rejected Navas' proposal, insisting that it would not be sold directly to any one. other club than they received an offer of about 20 million euros.

At the present time, Real has not yet received an offer close to this figure. Paris Saint-Germain has already made a personal agreement with the goalkeeper but will only sign for a free transfer, which certainly seems unlikely.

Madrid is reluctant to strengthen its direct rival in the Champions League, knowing that PSG could easily afford the contract if he really wanted. Zidane has a respectable offer.

Transfer maneuvers between Manchester United and David de Gea have also been suggested. The Spaniard has been tipped to join PSG, which could prompt United to act for Navas. Such an agreement could be preferred by Real, because the team of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer would probably be willing to pay a new goalkeeper.

AS adds that Navas could still stay in Santiago Bernabeu next season because he does not want to force an exit. Given that Real is eager to raise money, it seems unlikely that they would agree to pay Navas to leave, so the Costa Rican international could be forced to stay.
