5 Players that should leave Real Madrid this summer

#2. Keylor Navas

Navas would be better served to go for one last big payday.

The Costa-Rican international has been a brilliant servant to Real Madrid ever since he joined after the 2014 World Cup.

He has always been a brilliant shot-stopper but has had issues with clangers and dominating his space. The arrival of Thibault Courtois last season signalled the beginning of the end for the 32-year-old.

While both goalies got game time last season, it became clear that the Belgian would be the main man for the long term. Navas has always been Zidane's favourite, which was the reason why he refused to allow the club to go for Kepa Arrizabalaga in 2018 (before he joined Chelsea).

However, even the French manager has realized that he cannot give both goalies the game time both crave and one of them will have to go.

Given that Courtois is younger (27), it makes more sense for the club to let go of Navas. Big clubs in need of a short-term, experienced goalie (PSG, AS Roma amongst others) will be looking at the Costa Rican and given Real Madrid’s need to let players go, a deal can be done.
