According to Keylor Navas' agent, an assistant of Pep Guardiola, then coach of Barcelona, closed the door on him with this phrase: "He's an amazing goalkeeper, Ricardo, but no one is going to sign a Costa Rican goalkeeper. No big team.".
Apparently, Barcelona rejected Keylor's services, who at that time was playing for Saprissa, simply because he came from a country with little football history and potential for resale.
Two years later, Keylor signed with Albacete, continued his career at Levante, and finally in 2014, after a great World Cup in Brazil with the Costa Rican national team, Real Madrid set their eyes on him and signed him.
