Keylor Navas has officially arrived in Mexico City to finalize his move to Pumas UNAM. According to Mediotiempo, the Costa Rican goalkeeper returned after securing his work visa and expressed his excitement about joining the historic Liga MX club. “It’s an honor and a privilege to be here,” said the former Real Madrid star.

At 38, Navas believes he’s in great shape to contribute immediately. “My goal is to win titles. We’re going to work hard, adapt to the club and teammates, and give it our all,” he noted.
