Julen Lopetegui "thrilled" with goalkeeping options amid Thibaut Courtois talk

Julen Lopetegui refuses to comment on speculation linking Real Madrid with a move for Thibaut Courtois, and instead talks up the goalkeepers already available to him.

Real Madrid manager Julen Lopetegui has declared himself "thrilled" with the goalkeepers available to him, amid ongoing links with Chelsea stopper Thibaut Courtois.

The European champions have been tipped to move for a new number one ahead of the new season due to continued questions over Keylor Navas.

Following his first match in charge of Madrid, though, a 2-1 friendly loss to Manchester United, new boss Lopetegui refused to discuss a potential move for Courtois and suggested that he is happy to work with Navas.

"At no time am I going to talk about players who are not at Real Madrid," he told reporters. "I am thrilled with the goalkeepers that I have and I will not talk about players who are not part of this team."

Madrid also have Luca Zidane, Kiko Casilla and new signing Andriy Lunin on their goalkeeping books.
