New Delhi: Keylor Navas, the legendary Costa Rican goalkeeper, has officially joined Newell’s Old Boys, marking a new chapter in his illustrious career. At 38, Navas embarks on his first-ever adventure in Argentine football after spending years at some of Europe’s biggest clubs. Most notably, his time at Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) left a lasting impact, with the goalkeeper winning numerous titles, including three UEFA Champions League trophies with Madrid. After his contract with PSG ended in 2024, Navas remained a free agent for several months.
Now, after a period of inactivity, he has signed a one-year deal with Newell’s Old Boys, a move that is set to bolster the Argentine club’s aspirations. Fans of Newell’s and football in general are eagerly anticipating Navas’ arrival, and his participation in the upcoming Apertura Tournament is expected to make an immediate impact.

Keylor Navas’ recent career has faced challenges Despite his many successes. After leaving Real Madrid in 2019 to join PSG, he struggled to maintain the same level of consistency and prominence that had made him a fan favourite at the Bernabeu.
His time at PSG was overshadowed by a highly competitive goalkeeping environment, with Navas often sharing the starting role with other high-profile keepers like Gianluigi Donnarumma. As PSG’s focus shifted towards other star players, Navas found himself out of the limelight, contributing to his exit from the French club in 2024.
The last few months without a club raised doubts about whether Navas could still compete at the highest level. But his move to Newell’s Old Boys represents a fresh start for the veteran keeper. Joining a team in need of a leadership figure, Navas brings with him invaluable experience from his years at top clubs.
While Newell’s Old Boys have long been considered underdogs in the Primera Division, Navas’ arrival has the potential to elevate their status and make them a formidable force in Argentine football.
