- Zinedine Zidane has made a decision about Thibaut Courtois' future at Real Madrid

- The France legend indirectly said that players leaving the Bernabeu have been decided

- Courtois has had a nightmare spell since joining from Premier League side Chelsea

Zinedine Zidane has hinted that he will sell Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois at the end of the season.

The Belgian shot-stopper landed a dream move to the Santiago Bernabeu last summer from Chelsea.

Courtois moved to the Spanish capital after Zidane stepped down as manager at the club, just days after winning his third successive Champions League title.

Courtois has come under fire, in Real’s worst start in almost a decade which witnessed the sacking of Julen Lopetegui and Santiago Solari.

Zidane then dropped a hint on Tuesday, April 2, that he will part company with Courtois when the transfer window opens.

“I assure you that next year there will be no debate about the goalkeeper,” said Zidane.
"Whether I will play with a regular goalkeeper next year? That depends on the keepers that I will have in my squad. At the moment I have three good ones. But there will be certainly no debate, I tell you that now. It's going to be pretty clear," he added.

Expanding on potential summer departures, Zidane insisted decisions are already being made - but remained coy on exact details.
