On Sunday, speculation swift that Pumas had dressed a deal for former Real Madrid Star Keylor Navas. The trigger? Costa Rican's keeper was omitted from Newell's Matchday Squad of the old boys for their Argentine League opener against Independent – not even the bank.
South American journalists quickly took the omission, which suggests that Navas had played his last game for Newell and was about to go to Mexico to become a member of Los Auriazules.
The absence of the 38 -year -old in the stadium completely -he was not even seen in the VIP boxes -gave Pumas -fans a glimmer of hope. After a matte show against Santos Laguna on Saturday, the team is urgently needed an impressive presence between the posts. With reports that are circulating and the situation in Argentina that unfolded, it only seemed like a matter of time before Navas put on the blue and gold.
But then a turn came – and it came directly from Navas itself. Hours later the veteran keeper placed an Instagram story that attracted everyone's attention.
Pumas Target quotes “terrible day” that was destroyed by illness
Navas wrote that he had been brought down by a “terrible day” of “vomiting and stomach button” and added: “Thank goodness, the team has the 3 points. Now it's time to follow the medical advice and to restore as quickly as possible! Thanks to everyone for supporting support!”
An attempt to put pressure on Newell's?
This keeps the immediate future of Navas uncertain. Reports suggest that PUMAs are pushing hard to make the transfer take place, but those of Newell are not easy to make negotiations. In the coming days will be crucial to determine whether the movement will occur.
Transfer Insider César Luis Merlo added fuel to the fire and reported that Navas Newell has already informed about his desire to move to Mexico, lured by an offer that is financially good to leave. Merlo also hinted that the disease that cited the Costa Rican might have been a strategic move – a bit busy pushing the Argentinian club to open the door for its exit.
