FC Barcelona is urgently looking for a goalkeeper, as the German Marc-André ter Stegen has suffered a serious injury, leaving Iñaki Peña as the only option to support the Blaugrana goal. Consequently, a controversial name has emerged in the transfer market: Keylor Navas.
The Costa Rican is a free agent after leaving PSG; at 37 years old, he is seeking one last opportunity with a top club in Europe before ending his career.
Navas has renounced the Costa Rican national team, which ensures that if he is signed, he will not miss many training sessions during FIFA dates. However, his glorious past at Real Madrid has sparked the debate: would Navas’s move be treason or a blockbuster signing?
Navas’s agent is the Portuguese Jorge Mendes, who could facilitate a potential negotiation and bring Keylor closer to the Blaugrana environment.
The Costa Rican is physically ready, as he has been taking care of his own preseason, and his health is good: some back problems have subsided, and it would only take a few training sessions for him to be match-fit.
Will the former Real Madrid player join FC Barcelona?
