After weeks of intense negotiations, Newell's Old Boys has reached an agreement with Keylor Navas, who will be the new guardian of the Rosario goal for the 2025 season. The deal, as confirmed by sources within the club to Agencia EFE, stipulates that the Costa Rican goalkeeper will sign for one year with an option for extension, provided both parties agree.

The experienced 38-year-old goalkeeper is on the verge of formalizing his arrival, expected within the next 48 hours to undergo the necessary medical tests and finalize the remaining contract details. Navas, an icon in international football, has had an illustrious career with top-level teams such as Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, and most recently, Nottingham Forest.

He has had many suitors in these past months

Despite his inactivity in the last semester, the Costa Rican has been a sought-after figure in the South American market. While having contacts with clubs like San Lorenzo, Colo Colo, and Gremio, it was Newell's who managed to persuade the goalkeeper to join their project. The club is confident that Navas's experience and leadership will be pivotal in changing the dynamics following a disappointing 2024 campaign.

Keylor Navas's arrival represents an ambitious move for the Rosario team, who aim to strengthen their defensive structure with a world-class goalkeeper who has shown his capabilities in the most demanding scenarios of global football.
