As Keylor Navas stars, why Real Madrid might be glad David de Gea deal never worked out
Aside from the embarrassment of not being able to finalise a transfer that was considered done, Real are doing just fine with Navas in goal.
Real Madrid might consider themselves lucky the plan to trade goalkeeper Keylor Navas and cash for David de Gea never materialised.
Aside from the embarrassment of not being able to finalise a transfer that was considered done, Real are doing just fine with Navas in goal.
Three weeks after the transfer debacle, there is no reason to think the Spanish giants would be better off with De Gea as starter.
For the first time in their 113-year history, Madrid haven’t conceded a goal in their first five matches of the season, and Navas is a big reason for the success of the team’s defence so far.
Fans are more than happy with the goalkeeper, loudly chanting his name after every great save made by the Costa Rican at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.
Navas, who never hid his desire to stay in Madrid, is thrilled with how it all turned out.
