The Newell's Old Boys team has officially announced the signing of Costa Rican goalkeeper Keylor Navas for the 2025 season. After a disappointing performance in 2024, where they finished in 25th place out of 28 in the Professional Football League and faced several defeats, the management and coach Mariano Soso are looking to improve their image and avoid the struggle for survival in the league.
After signing several players like Luca Sosa, Alejo Tabares, and Luciano Lollo, the Rosario team finalized the recruitment of a goalkeeper who had not played for eight months. Keylor Navas's last match was in May 2024 with Paris Saint-Germain, where he played alongside Lionel Messi, who recommended him to Newell's.
The ligament injury of Lucas Hoyos at the end of last year left Newell's in search of a replacement in goal. Despite San Lorenzo's interest in the goalkeeper, the club decided to sign Keylor Navas, a goalkeeper with experience and a successful track record in international football.
The official announcement of Keylor Navas's arrival was made through the club's social media, highlighting his career as a three-time Champions League champion with Real Madrid, generating excitement and enthusiasm among Newell's Old Boys supporters.
