The dilemma Zidane is faced with

If the Athletic Bilbao stopper finally joins 'Los Blancos', Zidane will have three goalkeepers eager for first-team action. Firstly, Keylor Navas, who does not want to give up his place in the starting lineup. With the World Cup in Russia on the horizon, the Costa Rican will want to stay in peak physical condition.

Kiko Casilla is not considering a move away from the Bernabeu just yet. With Zidane granting the former Espanyol keeper chances to shine in the Copa del Rey, he has assumed his role in the team.

Lastly, Kepa Arrizabalaga will not sign for Real Madrid if it means sitting on the bench. The young goalkeeper is keen to continue his rise in the Spanish capital, and that will only happen if he is given the confidence from the boss.

According to Spanish daily 'Marca', Zidane will talk to all three keepers before any deals are completed. He will tell Keylor Navas and Kepa that they will both fight for a place between the sticks week after week. Neither goalkeeper will hold an advantage over the other.

Casilla will cease to be the designated stopper in the Copa del Rey, with Kepa starting matches in said competition. This could end Casilla's spell in paradise, after he tried to leave in the summer but Real Madrid stood in the way.

Zidane's plans since the beginning of the season have changed. Initially, his keepers were Navas, Casilla and Luca, but the latter suffered an injury and Navas has not been at his best. The Frenchman is ready for the new dilemma he will be faced with if Kepa arrives.
