Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane would be looking at a Premier League star who got relegated to satisfy a possible vacancy in his squad.
Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane has several midfielders and attackers on his agenda for the upcoming transfer window. The 46-year-old also knows in the back of his mind that signing a goalkeeper must be on the wish list too given that one of Keylor Navas or Thibaut Courtois will be leaving during the summer.
According to the Fox Sports, the Merengues are looking to a league rival in order to fill-in for their vacancy. Sevilla goalkeeper Sergio Rico, who was on loan at the relegated Fulham side from the Premier League, is on the radar of Los Blancos. The shot-stopper will be heading back to Andalusia now and Sevilla are open to the prospect of selling him.
The La Liga outfit will demand 12 million euros for his services, a price tag which Real Madrid will easily afford. That said, Sevilla and Real Madrid anyway enjoy great relations so formulating a transfer in spite of the Rojiblancos now being a side contesting for the top four, would not be much of an issue.
Thibaut Courtois, with 34 appearances is the goalkeeper who has played most this season. Keylor Navas has had his chances with Zinedine Zidane back at the helm, but the Frenchman will keep only one. All signs point toward Courtois staying and Zidane would be happy to let the Costa Rican Navas play in the Champions League and Copa del Rey, but he wants to play more.
Maybe purchasing Sergio Rico would not be the best possible option for Real Madrid because they already have Andriy Lunin. Luca Zidane or Altube can continue being the third choice for next year. However, firstly, keeping Keylor Navas and Thibaut Courtois both happy in some way or the other must be on Zidane’s radar.
