Keylor Navas set to join Paris Saint-Germain

Keylor Navas may have played his last game for Los Blancos

The Costa Rican goalkeeper is finally going to call it a day on his time at the Santiago Bernabeu. The 32-year-old has agreed terms with Paris Saint-Germain. As per reports, Keylor Navas will sign a 3-year deal which will see him earn a whopping €6 million per year.

Navas told Real Madrid of his intention to leave on Wednesday after perusing the deal offered by the Ligue 1 giants. The report claims that PSG and Navas had reached an agreement in May. However, this was prior to Leonardo taking over as the sporting director at PSG.

Paris Saint-Germain had been looking to sign Gianluigi Donnarumma from AC Milan all summer. However, they couldn't reach an agreement with Il Rossoneri.

Though there was a feeling that Navas would leave this summer, as the window dragged on, Zidane was expecting him to stay. Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are yet to reach an agreement but the report claims that a deal will be sealed for around €15 million.
