Former Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Keylor Navas will leave Costa Rica for Italy in the coming hours to complete a free transfer to Monza.
The 37-year-old Costa Rican shot stopper, who won three Champions League titles with Los Blancos, is currently a free agent after his contract with PSG expired at the start of this month. Earlier this year, he retired from his national team, having made a historic 114 caps.
Monza have been looking for a new goalkeeper following the sale of Michele Di Gregorio to Juventus and were heavily linked with a move for Pierluigi Gollini, which collapsed at the final hurdle, forcing them to look elsewhere.
Monza pick up Keylor Navas
Gianluca Di Marzio details how Monza have agreed to sign Keylor Navas on a free transfer and he’ll fly from Costa Rice to Italy today to carry out his pre-transfer medicals on Tuesday before completing the move.
The 37-year-old shot stopper will face his former Real Madrid teammate Raphael Varane in Serie A after the defender’s move to Como last week.
