Thibaut Courtois's Real Madrid future in doubt following Zinedine Zidane return?

Thibaut Courtois's Madrid future in doubt?

Thibaut Courtois reportedly faces an uncertain future at Real Madrid following the managerial arrival of Zinedine Zidane.

After getting through two bosses already this season, Real turned to Zidane this week just nine-and-a-half months after he departed.

During his time at the Bernabeu, Zidane repeatedly blocked the club's attempt to sign Courtois from Chelsea as he was happy with Keylor Navas.

According to The Independent, the Belgium international could potentially lose his place to Navas for the remainder of the campaign after failing to win over supporters.

The report also indicates that Real may look for possible suitors if Courtois is reduced to back-up keeper, though his transfer fee will be substantially reduced, a year on from joining in a £35m transfer.
