Keylor Navas creates transfer shock

The Keylor Navas move to Pumas shocked the South American football world when the Costa Rican goalkeeper spent more than 400,000 USD (about 7.5 million Mexican pesos) to "open the door" to Liga MX.

Keylor Navas has won many titles with Real Madrid.

According to Argentine press, Newell's Old Boys were outraged by the way Navas left the team. The Argentine club demanded a higher transfer fee than Pumas' initial offer ( 1.3 million USD ). After tense negotiations, the Mexican team agreed to raise the price to 1.4 million USD , plus the amount of money Navas spent to complete the deal.

Navas' decision to sacrifice his finances to play for Pumas shows the ambition of the 37-year-old goalkeeper after ending his illustrious career in Europe. He won 3 consecutive Champions League titles with Real Madrid (2015-2018), 1 La Liga, 4 FIFA Club World Cups and many other major titles.

The day Navas landed at Mexico City's international airport, hundreds of Pumas and Real Madrid fans came to greet him. However, according to ESPN, the veteran goalkeeper did not directly interact with the fans and quickly moved to the team's gathering place.

Pumas are expected to officially unveil Keylor Navas on July 24, making him the brightest star of the Liga MX transfer window this summer. The capital club hopes that the experience and fighting spirit of the former Real Madrid goalkeeper will help them raise their position in the tournament.

With this determined contract, Pumas not only owns a world- class goalkeeper, but also receives a strong "statement" from Navas: He is willing to put his playing ambition above financial benefits to continue conquering new heights.
