After Guillermo Ochoa’s departure: continuing his career in Italy, América still has time to add a reinforcement in goal and several names are already in the Eagles' agenda. In recent days, the Coapa team has been linked with Agustín Marchesín and now the rumor about the possible signing of Keylor Navas in the Mexican Liga MX has become stronger.
The Costa Rican goalkeeper, 36 years old, is currently a player at PSG in France, the team where Messi, Neymar, Mbappé, and other stars are also present, and he has a contract until the summer of 2024. But the problem for Keylor is that he has been relegated to the bench with the arrival of Italian Donnarumma and he is looking to move to another club to have more playing time.
After Ochoa's departure, América would play the Clausura 2023 tournament with Ángel Malagón and Óscar Jiménez, but as soon as the winter transfer market for the Apertura 2023 opens, they would go for Keylor Navas. The operation will not be simple, as Keylor's main desire is to stay in Europe.
However, for the Azulcrema directive, this is only a rumor, as Héctor González Iñárritu, the team's president, has explained that there is currently nothing and he even did not know where the information came from because it is the first time he has heard such an option to replace Guillermo Ochoa.
Meanwhile, coach Fernando Ortiz stated to the media that so far the goalkeepers who will replace 'Memo' would be Óscar Jiménez and Luis Malagón, players who will be given the opportunity to claim the starting position, so the preseason will serve for one of them to stand out.
The value of Keylor Navas
The goalkeeper of the Costa Rican national team currently has a value of 5 million euros, according to the transfermarket portal, an affordable amount for the Águilas. The 'tico' has a contract until 2024 with PSG, but he is looking for playing time after being in the shadow of Donnarumma, so he would have to decide whether to come to the most successful club in Mexico or consider other options that appear to him.
