Although Guillermo Ochoa was a goalkeeper criticized within Mexican soccer, its weight and relevance was felt under the bow. With the departure of Memo, the gate of the Águilas del América feels vulnerable. Keylor Navas has sounded like a possible replacement, but the options would be slim.

Several media outlets have highlighted the possibility that Tico left Paris Saint-Germain to join the cream-blue team. But this possibility would become effective for the Opening tournament 2023.

One of the main reasons behind the arrival of Keylor Navas in Liga MX is his lack of participation in the French team. The Tico has not played any game this seasonsince the confidence of the coaching staff is placed on Gianluigi Donnarumma.

Keylor Navas, a complex target for America

The chances of the Tico goalkeeper reaching the Águilas del América are reduced by different factors. Navas has a contract with the club until June 2024. It is very complex that from the nest they can make an appetizing offer that seduces PSG. Also, The Costa Rican goalkeeper’s salary is $9 million dollars a year; Florian Thauvin is the highest paid player in Liga MX and barely earns $5.5 million dollars.

🗣 Christophe Galtier at the press conference :

“Keylor Navas had ten days off after the World Cup. He got back into the rhythm of the sessions. He will start tomorrow. As for Leo Messi, he will not be in the squad for tomorrow’s game”#PSG🔴🔵 pic.twitter.com/P1bK0tXt43— PSG Chief (@psg_chief) January 5, 2023

On the other hand, the cream-blue team would not have free quotas for foreigners. Under these circumstances it is estimated that the club’s goal he will not be defended by Keylor Navas and the fans will have to give Luis Ángel Malagón and Óscar Jiménez a vote of confidence.
