Costa Rican legendary goalkeeper Keylor Navas has finalized his move to Newell's Old Boys, marking his debut in Argentine football. La Lepra managed to secure the signing after weeks of silent negotiations, guaranteeing the goalkeeper with a one-year contract. This unexpected move signals one of the major transfer coups and generates huge anticipation among the fans of the Rosario club.

At 38 years old, Navas arrives with an impressive track record, including three Champions League titles and four Club World Cups won with Real Madrid. His international experience is complemented by 114 appearances for the Costa Rican national team, involvement in three World Cups, and a history that positions him as the most influential goalkeeper in his country's history. However, his inactivity since July 2024, when he was released by Paris Saint-Germain, poses the challenge of regaining competitive rhythm.

Keylor Navas to continue his career in Argentina

Newell's has been working on this signing for 20 days, starting from direct contact by coach Gabriel Heinze to the efforts of the board to meet the player's conditions. His last period of continuity was at Nottingham Forest in the first half of 2023, where he played on loan from PSG and had key performances to prevent the English team's relegation.

The goalkeeper will move to Rosario in the coming days to sign his contract and be officially presented. This move not only strengthens Newell's in a key position but also represents an opportunity for Navas to regain prominence in the twilight of his career. Expectations at Parque de la Independencia are sky-high with the arrival of a world-class figure in Argentine football.
