Mexico and Costa Rica faced off in a highly anticipated Group A clash at the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/gold-cup">Concacaf Gold Cup</a>. The match showcased a fierce battle for supremacy, with Mexico pressing hard and Costa Rica relying on the exceptional goalkeeping of Keylor Navas to keep the scoreline level. Santiago Giménez nearly stole the show late in the game with a goal, but it was ultimately ruled offside, leaving both teams to settle for a draw.



From the opening whistle, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mexico">Mexico</a> dominated possession and dictated the tempo, patiently working the ball through midfield in search of openings. Despite their control, El Tri struggled to penetrate Costa Rica’s organized defense and were repeatedly denied by Navas’ acrobatic saves. Costa Rica, meanwhile, relied on quick counterattacks and maintained solid defensive discipline to frustrate their opponents.



The intensity of the match grew as both teams fought hard in midfield, with physical challenges and tactical battles shaping much of the action. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/costa-rica">Costa Rica</a> received several yellow cards amid rising tensions, and Mexico’s final passes often lacked the precision needed to break down the resilient Ticos.



As the match wound down, Mexico ramped up the pressure in search of a late winner. Santiago Giménez found the back of the net in the dying moments, only to have the goal ruled out for offside. The 0-0 result means both teams earn valuable points and advance in the tournament, but the match was defined by <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/keylor-navas">Navas</a>’ heroics and the fine margins that kept the score even.

The match is underway at Allegiant Stadium! Mexico and Costa Rica have officially kicked off this decisive Group A clash in the 2025 Concacaf Gold Cup. Stakes are high with first place on the line—let's see who takes control early.

1' - First foul of the match – Edson Álvarez goes in hard (0-0)

Just one minute in, and we have the first foul of the night. Edson Álvarez commits a strong challenge on Manfred Ugalde right at midfield. The referee gives a verbal warning, but it's clear Mexico wants to set the tone physically early on.

4' - Double yellow for Costa Rica! (0-0)

What a start—just 3 minutes in and Costa Rica already has two players booked. Francisco Calvo and Carlos Mora commit back-to-back fouls in quick succession, and the referee wastes no time showing yellow cards to both, with no prior warnings. Discipline will be key now as Los Ticos are already under pressure.

8' - Mexico threatens early with brilliant team play (0-0)

Mexico comes knocking! A beautiful sequence of one-touch passes slices through Costa Rica’s midfield, ending with a powerful strike from Luis Chávez outside the box. Keylor Navas reacts sharply to make the save, and on the rebound, Roberto Alvarado sends it over the crossbar. Early warning signs from El Tri!

13' - Intensity dips after the first 10 minutes (0-0)

Following a frenetic start, both Mexico and Costa Rica have eased up slightly on the aggression and tempo. The early physicality has given way to a more measured approach as each side looks to find rhythm and control possession. The battle for midfield dominance is heating up quietly now.

18' - Mexico looks to impose their style and press forward (0-0)

So far, Mexico is focused on controlling possession and dictating the pace of the match. They’re patiently building from the back and trying to break down Costa Rica’s defensive shape. However, despite holding the ball well, clear chances in the attacking third remain limited at this stage.

22' - Costa Rica capitalizes on Mexico’s possession lapse (0-0)

As Mexico focuses on maintaining possession, a momentary lapse leaves them vulnerable to counterattacks. Costa Rica tries to exploit these opportunities with quick breaks, but so far, their efforts haven’t resulted in any clear chances. The Ticos remain dangerous on the break, keeping Mexico alert.

23' - Keylor Navas, the hero of the moment! (0-0)

After a Mexico corner, Raúl Jiménez rises powerfully for a towering header that looks destined for goal—but Keylor Navas pulls off a stunning save to keep Costa Rica in the game. The danger isn’t over yet, as a fierce volley from the rebound is also expertly denied by the Costa Rican goalkeeper. What a crucial double save!

29' - Mexico presses on with growing control (0-0)

Mexico has settled into the rhythm of the match and is clearly taking command on the field. They’re creating clearer chances now, showcasing sharp passing and build-up play. However, the final ball still lacks precision and depth, preventing them from truly breaking through Costa Rica’s organized defense.

34' - Stalemate with lack of clear ideas from both sides (0-0)

Both Mexico and Costa Rica are pushing to create offensive opportunities, but the game currently lacks creativity and clear-cut chances. The build-up play feels tentative, and neither team has been able to carve out significant danger in the attacking third so far.

36' - Close call for Costa Rica! (0-0)

A brilliant sequence sparked by a timely interception leads to a quick long ball forward. Costa Rica’s Carlos Mora controls the ball down the left flank, receives a tight-angled pass, and comes agonizingly close to scoring. The shot forces a smart save and sends a warning to Mexico—Los Ticos are very much alive in this battle!

42' -  Dangerous free kick for Costa Rica! (0-0)

Chávez commits a foul just outside the box on Alonso Martínez, handing Costa Rica a promising set-piece opportunity. Brandon Aguilera steps up to take the free kick but sends it sailing well over the crossbar—an opportunity wasted for Los Ticos. Mexico breathes a sigh of relief!

45' - Halftime at Allegiant Stadium! (0-0)

It's scoreless at the break in this Group A clash between Mexico and Costa Rica. El Tri dominated possession and controlled the tempo, but struggled to break down Costa Rica’s disciplined defense. Meanwhile, Los Ticos nearly struck on the counter, with Carlos Mora coming closest. All to play for in the second half—stay tuned!

45' - Second half underway! (0-0)

We’re back in action at Allegiant Stadium! Mexico and Costa Rica take the field for the final 45 minutes with the score still level.

50' - More of the same to start the second half (0-0)

The second half opens much like the first—Mexico resumes control with calm possession, looking to dictate the rhythm and probe for openings. Costa Rica, meanwhile, continues to battle with heart and grit, chasing every loose ball and trying to hit on the break. It's a tactical tug-of-war with plenty of intensity, but still lacking that final spark.

55' - So close for Mexico! (0-0)

A brilliant counterattack sparked from a throw-in nearly breaks the deadlock. Mexico moves quickly in transition, ending with a lofted cross to the far post. Raúl Jiménez makes the run but just misses the final touch as the ball flashes inches wide of Costa Rica’s goal. A golden opportunity narrowly missed by El Tri!

Tensions are rising as Joseph Mora and Orlando Galo both go into the referee’s book for separate fouls—Costa Rica now with multiple players on yellow. Moments later, Los Ticos make their first substitution: Carlos Mora makes way, and Andy Rojas enters the match to bring fresh legs to the left flank.

59' - Play halted as Mitchell receives treatment (0-0)

The match is momentarily paused as Costa Rica’s Jeyland Mitchell is down after taking a tough challenge from Alexis Vega. The medical staff is on the field attending to the defender, who appears to be in some discomfort. Both teams take the chance to regroup as we await the restart.

61' -  Play resumes at Allegiant Stadium (0-0)

After a brief stoppage for treatment to Jeyland Mitchell, the match is back underway.

66' - Tempers flare as the match heats up! (0-0)

Things are getting tense at Allegiant Stadium. After a foul on Andy Rojas by Luis Chávez, a brief scuffle breaks out with players from both sides exchanging shoves. While it doesn’t escalate into anything major, the referee steps in quickly and books Jeyland Mitchell for his reaction. Right after the incident, Costa Rica makes a change—Mitchell comes off and is replaced by Kenay Myrie. The intensity is rising with every minute!

68' - Mexico saved by the post! (0-0)

Costa Rica comes inches away from taking the lead! A well-worked attacking move finds Alonso Martínez in space inside the box. He takes the shot, and it beats Malagón—but smashes off the post and bounces out. Huge let-off for Mexico, who are living dangerously as Costa Rica grows in confidence!

69' - Double substitution for Mexico (0-0)

El Tri makes two changes as they look to shift the momentum. Raúl Jiménez, who came close earlier, makes way for Santiago Giménez to bring fresh energy up front. Meanwhile, Mateo Chávez is replaced by Jesús Gallardo, adding experience and pace on the left flank. Mexico pushing for a breakthrough as we enter the final stretch.

73' - Yellow card for Mexico! (0-0)

Luis Chávez picks up a caution after a heated midfield battle, delivering an elbow to Orlando Galo. The referee quickly steps in to keep things under control as the physicality intensifies in this crucial stage of the match.

Roberto Alvarado and Marcel Ruiz exit the field as El Tri looks to inject fresh legs and creativity. Coming on are Érick Aguirre Huerta and Carlos Rodríguez.

81' - Mexico refuses to settle for a draw! (0-0)

El Tri is fully committed to pushing forward, applying relentless pressure deep in Costa Rica’s half. The Mexican side is hunting for that decisive chance to break the deadlock, controlling possession and probing tirelessly for a breakthrough in these crucial final moments.

85' - Warning for Costa Rica! (0-0)

Manfred Ugalde picks up a yellow card after a foul on Carlos Rodríguez. This caution puts Ugalde in problems of suspension, meaning he's going to miss Costa Rica’s next match.

88' - Final substitutions of the match (0-0)

Both teams make their last moves as we head into the closing minutes. For Mexico, Alexis Vega makes way for Julián Quiñones, bringing fresh attacking legs to the frontline. On the Costa Rican side, Alonso Martínez and Manfred Ugalde—two of their most dangerous threats—come off as Los Ticos look to hold firm and secure a result.

90+5' - Winding down in Paradise – both teams settling for the draw! (0-0)

Despite five minutes of added time, the energy on the pitch has noticeably dropped. Both Mexico and Costa Rica appear content with the result, focusing more on managing the closing moments than pushing for a late winner. With qualification already secured, the draw seems acceptable for both sides as the final whistle approaches.

90+5' - GOOOOOAL FOR MEXICO! (1-0)

In the final play of the match, Santiago Giménez comes up clutch! A loose ball falls to him inside the box, and he unleashes a stunning volley that rockets past Keylor Navas. What a strike—unstoppable! Mexico snatches the victory in dramatic fashion and takes top spot in Group B at the 2025 Concacaf Gold Cup

In recent years, Cristiano Ronaldo and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a> have monopolized the debate of who is “the greatest soccer player of all time” due to their respective success with their clubs and national teams. However, while some legends have their choice clear, some have changed their minds a couple of times. That’s the case of Keylor Navas, who played alongside both legends.



The goalkeeper shared the locker room with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cristiano-ronaldo">Ronaldo</a> during his time at Real Madrid, as they played together four seasons, winning three Champions League titles, one domestic league, three European Super Cups and three FIFA Club World Cups. Then, he signed with Paris Saint-Germain in 2019 and played with Messi during a season and a half, winning two Ligue 1 titles and one Coup de France.



However, long before he became Messi’s teammate, he already showed his appreciation for the Argentine star’s talent. In 2013, when he played for Levante, he praised Messi in a press conference before a match between Levante and Barcelona at the Camp Nou.



“Messi, I think, is a very good player. He is the best in the world, and that is a gift that God gave him since he was a child—you can see it in videos, and he doesn’t have to prove anything,” <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/keylor-navas">Navas</a> said, according to Mundo Deportivo. “He has done many things that will take years, and no one will do them. If Messi plays, I will be focused, and if he doesn’t play, I will be as well. Those who play always have quality.”



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20250211_BUS_333853_navas-1024x576_d9c72c09.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-333890" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/11143854/navas-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/11143854/navas-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/11143854/navas-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/11143854/navas-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/11143854/navas-740x416.jpg 740w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/11143854/navas-490x275.jpg 490w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/11143854/navas-250x140.jpg 250w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/11143854/navas.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Keylor Navas and Cristiano Ronaldo in 2016 (Gonzalo Arroyo Moreno/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



However, in 2015, when he was already Ronaldo’s teammate, he said a similar thing about the Portuguese, saying he was “privileged and blessed by God for the talent he has.” However, he also said that Ronaldo was “the best because I share time with him every day. I see the way he works, how professional he is, and everything he does to improve. Other players in his position might say they’ve already achieved everything and stop training, but he proves the opposite. He has a unique talent and qualities that not all players have,” he told La Nación.

<h2>Did Navas change his mind after playing alongside Messi?</h2>



The goalkeeper hasn’t spoken again on the GOAT debate since then, but when Messi decided to leave PSG in 2023, he wrote on his social media that it was an “honor” to have played alongside the Argentine star.



It turns out that he still has a good relationship with Messi, as he also confessed that the Inter Miami star was one of the reasons he chose to join Newell’s Old Boys, Messi’s boyhood club in Argentina.

“I knew about the club, its history, and the legends who played here. Before coming, I spoke to Messi, and he had nothing but positive things to say,” he told reporters in late January, when being presented by the club.



<h2>Cristiano Ronaldo vs Messi: Stats and titles</h2>



Messi has won multiple league titles with Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain, along with four UEFA Champions League trophies. He also led Argentina to two Copa America trophies and World Cup glory. In contrast, Ronaldo has claimed league titles in England, Spain, and Italy, winning the Champions League five times. He played a key role in Portugal’s triumphs at Euro 2016 and the 2019 UEFA Nations League.



When it comes to individual stats, Ronaldo has scored 924 goals in his career, being the all-time goalscorer in professional soccer. Meanwhile, Messi has scored 850 goals. Both stars are still playing, trying to extend their already impressive legacies.

Keylor Navas' bold shift in the Lionel Messi vs. Cristiano Ronaldo ‘greatest of all time’ debate - Bolavip US

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/keylor-navas">Keylor Navas</a>, a Costa Rican soccer icon and former Real Madrid star, made headlines recently, but not for the reasons many expected. Since parting ways with Paris Saint–Germain at the end of last season, the veteran goalkeeper has yet to find a new club. Despite receiving several offers from various leagues, the former Lionel Messi teammate is still weighing his next move, while keeping fit by training back home in Costa Rica.



At 37, Navas, who once shared the field with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Messi</a>, Kylian Mbappé, and Neymar at PSG and was a key figure in Real Madrid’s three consecutive Champions League titles, remains a free agent. This status allows him to sign with any club outside of traditional transfer windows.



The Costa Rican shot-stopper has drawn interest from leagues such as Italy’s Serie A, MLS, and teams in Saudi Arabia and Mexico. However, Navas seems to be holding out for the right opportunity to end his career on a high note, as none of the current offers have fully convinced him so far.



<h2>FC Barcelona’s interest</h2>



Recently, rumors linking Keylor Navas to FC Barcelona gained traction following an injury to Marc-André ter Stegen, who suffered a torn patellar tendon in his right knee. The Spanish club is now in need of an experienced goalkeeper, and according to Spanish media, Barça reached out to Navas to gauge his interest in joining.

Despite being a former <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a> standout—Barça’s fiercest rival—Navas did not rule out the possibility of donning the Blaugrana jersey if it meant getting playing time and the chance to compete at the highest level. 


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/soccer/former-cristiano-ronaldo-teammate-surprisingly-unretires-to-replace-ter-stegen-at-barcelona"></div>


However, Barcelona ultimately opted to sign Polish goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny, who, at 34, came out of retirement to take on the challenge. This left Navas, once again, without a club.



<h2>What’s next for Keylor Navas?</h2>



At 37, Keylor Navas’ future remains uncertain, but one thing is clear: he still has plenty left to offer. With the flexibility to join any team at any time, Navas has an open path to find the right project. 



The question now is: Where will Costa Rica’s greatest goalkeeper continue to write his legacy? Only time will tell what his next challenge will be.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/costa-rica">Costa Rica</a> will play in the Copa America for the sixth time in their history. This year they will seek to overcome the barrier of the quarterfinals, the best record achieved in the 2001 and 2004 editions. However, experienced goalkeeper Keylor Navas will not be part of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/copa-america">Copa America 2024</a>.



Keylor Navas is currently the sixth most capped player in the Costa Rican national team. The goalkeeper was a key piece in Brazil’s 2010 World Cup, saving a penalty kick against Greece in the round of 16 to help Costa Rica reach the quarterfinals, the best record in the country’s history.



Despite Keylor Navas’ proud history with his national team, Argentine coach Gustavo Alfaro will not be able to count on him for this Copa America 2024. Many may wonder why the former <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a> keeper is out of the roster.



<h2>Keylor Navas out of Copa America 2024</h2>



The reason why Keylor Navas is not going to be with Costa Rica this Copa America is because he retired from the national team this year. Keylor’s last game with the national team was on March 27 in Los Angeles, where Gustavo Alfaro’s team lost 3-1 to Argentina in a friendly match.



The former PSG goalkeeper bid farewell to his national team with an emotional message through his social networks:



“I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the memories we have built. Together we have made history, facing the best players in the world, raising the name of Costa Rica to the highest level”.

Keylor Navas announced his retirement from international soccer only a week ago. “It’s a bittersweet feeling, difficult to assimilate. This stage of my life with the national team has come to an end,” Navas stated in a social media post.

Will Keylor Navas play for Costa Rica? 

Why isn’t Keylor Navas playing for Costa Rica? - Bolavip US

Why isn’t Keylor Navas playing for Costa Rica against Uruguay?

The absence of Keylor Navas is one of the most notable occurrences in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/gold-cup">2023 Gold Cup</a>, particularly for the Costa Rican team. Here we will explain the reason behind the absence of this star goalkeeper from his national team, which is participating in the most significant national team tournament organized by Concacaf.



For years he has been a goalkeeper who participates in the world soccer elite. Every fan of this sport recognizes the name of Keylor Navas when he hears it, having played in important teams in his country and Europe, highlighting his time at <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/psg">Paris Saint-Germain</a>.



Undoubtedly, Navas would have been of great importance to the Costa Rican team, which is considered one of the main contenders to reach the latter stages of the competition. However, unfortunately, the goalkeeper who dazzled for his country during the 2014 World Cup will not be available to represent Costa Rica in the 2023 Gold Cup.



<h2>Costa Rica loses one of their stars</h2>



Keylor Navas was left out of the Gold Cup because he was unable to recover from an injury sustained while playing for his current team, England’s Nottingham Forest.



According to the doctor of the Costa Rican team, Alejandro Ramirez: “We saw that he is recovering very well, but unfortunately it is not enough to be able to participate in this competition (Concacaf Gold Cup), as he will need between three and four weeks for a full recovery.”

When <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/psg">Paris Saint-Germain</a> signed Gianluigi Donnarumma, they put Keylor Navas in a tough spot. The former <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a> goalkeeper was benched, but eventually, he decided to be a starter elsewhere.



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/keylor-navas-psg-salary-per-hour-day-week-month-year-20221030-0029.html">Costa Rican star</a> found the playing time he was looking for at Nottingham Forest, where he rediscovered the best version of himself. Navas played a pivotal role in helping them stay in the top-flight, and his performances didn’t go unnoticed.



Even at 36, the veteran goalkeeper seems to be on the radar of many English clubs. Navas has to return to PSG this summer, but since Donnarumma is still their starter, chances are he leaves for good this time.



<h2>Report: Keylor Navas on the radar of four English clubs</h2>



According to French outlet Foot Mercato, Navas has decided to make the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/premier-league">Premier League</a> his priority once his six-month loan at Nottingham Forest officially expires. 



The report claims he has drawn interest from Chelsea, Tottenham, Brentford, and Leicester. The Blues may go after a keeper this summer to have a fresh start at the position, while Spurs would be looking for a replacement of Hugo Lloris.



The Bees may have chances since they could guarantee Navas the starting job, while the Foxes would run from behind after being relegated to the Championship.

Even if things aren’t going well for him right now, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/navas-or-donnarumma-psg-reportedly-make-final-decision-on-starting-goalkeeper-ahead-of-next-season-20220424-0010.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Keylor Navas</a> hasone of the most remarkable backstories in today’s sport. This Costa Rican superstar is a product of his own hard work and skill, which allowed him to rise from extreme poverty. Navas is now a veteran and a formidable goalkeeper due to his steady development and consistent performance throughout the years.
The finest goalie to emerge from Latin America, if not the best, he certainly ranks high among the world’s best. This 35-year-old showstopper is unquestionably among the finest in the world, as shown by the fact that some of the best attackers have been naming him as one of the goalkeepers they dread facing.
Although he has been one of Europe’s top keepers over the last decade, hehas had trouble establishing himself with any one team.Navas was <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/federico-valverde-real-madrid-salary-per-hour-day-week-month-year-20221027-0002.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Real Madrid</a>‘s backup goalkeeper twice during his tenure, first behind <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/iker-casillas-tweet-lucy-bronze-calls-for-more-education-amid-terrible-joke-gone-bad-20221010-0012.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Iker Casillas</a> and then <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/qatar-2022-thibaut-courtois-belgium-and-9-other-national-teams-defying-a-lengthy-world-cup-tradition-20220621-0032.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Thibaut Courtois</a>.

<h2>Keylor Navas’contract with PSG</h2>
Keylor Navas signed with Paris Saint-Germain in September 2019, and his original deal kept him at the club until the end of the 2022-23 season. The Costa Rican star signed a new 12-month contract with the club in April 2021, keeping him there until 2024.
Despite having two years left on his contract, the French championshave beenhesitant to move the shot-stopper to the secondary training squad or release him outright. However, with his possible departure, they will be able to eliminate one of the highest wages in the squad.
<h2>How much does Keylor Navas make a week?</h2>
As per the most recent salary list published by L’Equipe, 18 of the top 20 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/betting/how-to-bet-on-the-french-ligue-1-complete-guide-20210319-0015.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ligue 1</a> incomes are PSG players, which is just mind-boggling.

Keylor Navas' salary at PSG: How much he makes per hour, day, week, month, and year

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/3-possible-destinations-for-paul-pogba-as-ralf-rangnick-confirms-departure-20220422-0045.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PSG </a>recently won the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/ligue-1-winners-list-by-year-of-all-time-champions-of-the-french-league-20220420-0005.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ligue 1</a> championship for the tenth time in history. Although the team from the French capital do not play at its best, the quality of its players allowed it to become the champion. PSG are one of the most powerful soccer teams in the world. The money it holds allows it to buy a large number of quality players.
But sometimes, having so many stars in the same team can make the atmosphere less than optimal. It was not easy this season for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/why-manchester-united-opted-for-erik-ten-hag-rather-than-mauricio-pochettino-20220422-0014.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mauricio Pochettino</a>, the coach was in charge of choosing which players to play and which ones to stay on the bench, but whenever a star player is left out, there are always problems. More so when it comes to choosing who will be the starting goalkeeper.
PSG have two-star goalkeepers: Keylor Navas who has been at the club since 2019, and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/haaland-donnarumma-foden-these-are-the-most-valuable-players-who-never-won-the-uefa-champions-league-20220416-0016.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gianluigi Donnarumma </a>who joined in 2021. Since the beginning of the season, both goalkeepershave both let it be known that they wanted to play every game, but the starting position is only for one of them. That is why both Navas and Donnarumma have made a decision.
<h2>What will happen with Navas and Donnarumma?</h2>
Journalist Fabrizio Romano assured: “Paris Saint-Germain updates. Gianluigi Donnarumma has no intention to leave the club and he’s expected to stay – while Keylor could look for a new experience”.
“I am happy in Paris, I have a good relationship with Donnarumma but I want to play every game. The same situation as this season would be complicated. The situation has to change, one way or another”, Navas said.
“I’m going to stay at Paris Saint-Germain because I want to win here, I want to go for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/manchester-city-vs-real-madrid-lineups-for-the-first-leg-of-the-2021-2022-uefa-champions-league-semi-final-20220424-0006.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Champions League</a>. I’m here to be the starter. As I said, it was a year of acclimatization for me: it wasn’t easy to change mylanguage and habits. I have an excellent relationship with Navas, but as he also said, it was not easy to live with this competition. Things surely have to change“, Donnarumma acknowledged.
Both Navas and Donnarumma are two goalkeepers who are used to playing all the time, and this season the Costa Rican played 24 games (22 goals conceded) and the Italian played 22 games (20 goals conceded). The news is already out, Donnarumma will stay, and Navas will leave.
<h2>Which teams could sign the 35-year-old goalkeeper?</h2>
Navas has a contract with PSG until 2024, and according to Transfermarkt, he has a market value of €10 million. In addition, Marca revealed that the goalkeeper is the seventh highest-paid player in Ligue 1, earning 12,000,000 euros per season.
According to Fichajes, mega-rich Newcastle are interested in signing Navas this summer to continue their rebuild. Reinforcing the goalkeeping position is one of Eddie Howe’s top priorities, and Navas would be a good candidate to fill that role. Furthermore, paying Navas a lucrative wage won’t be a problem for Newcastle.
Italian giants <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/with-dybala-s-departure-juventus-want-to-sign-two-first-team-players-from-the-argentina-national-team-20220422-0019.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Juventus </a>are also said to be keen on the shot-stopper. La Vecchia Signora are looking for a replacement for Poland’s Szczesny and Keylor Navas is one of the options being considered by the club’s management.
And Spanish side <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/Report--PSG-to-part-ways-with-Sergio-Ramos-5-possible-destinations-for-the-defender-20220420-0023.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sevilla </a>are believed to be keen on Navas too. The Spanish side’s current No1 Yassine Bounou is rumored to be leaving the club in the coming transfer window. Navas signing for Sevilla would see him return to Spain, where he spent nine years of his career playing for Albacete, Levante, and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/what-dobenzema-ramos-and-aguerohave-in-common-20220421-0015.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Real Madrid</a> respectively.

Navas or Donnarumma? PSG reportedly make final decision on starting goalkeeper ahead of next season - Bolavip US

When Paris Saint-Germain announced <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/donnarumma-laments-lack-of-playing-time-20211113-0020.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">GianluigiDonnarumma’s </a>signing, most people predicted it would be <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/psg-lineup-with-messi-best-players-who-could-be-benched-in-2021-2022-season-20210809-0017.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the end of the Keylor Navas era</a> at Parc des Princes. However, the Costa Rican continues to hold on to the starting job for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/report-mauricio-pochettino-secretly-holding-manchester-united-talks-20220112-0022.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mauricio Pochettino’s</a> side.
Even so, most think it’s just a matter of time before the Italian star gets the nod and jumps ahead of the pecking order, which is why it wouldn’t be so shocking to see Navas leave in the January transfer window.
Moreover, the new-look <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/newcastle-agree-deal-with-gosens-20220116-0007.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Newcastle</a> are reportedly keeping tabs on the former Real Madrid goalkeeper, and they would be more than willing to spend some big bucks to get the job done, per the Daily Mail.
<h2>Daily Mail: Newcastle Want To Sign PSG’s Keylor Navas</h2>
“Newcastle are reportedly hatching a plan signParis Saint-Germaingoalkeeper Keylor Navas,” reported the Daily Mail. “Navas won three Champions Leagues and aLaLiga title withReal Madridbefore he signed for PSG back in 2019.The 35-year-old has since 97 appearances for the French giants and has continued to play regularly this season, despite the high-profile signing ofGianluigi Donnarumma.”

<h2>PSG Want To Hold On To Navas Until The End Of The Season</h2>
Even so, it seems like the English side won’t have it that easy. Per RMC Sport, PSG have no intention of letting Navas go right now and they would have to wait at least until the end of the season:
“According toRMC Sport, Newcastle have now ‘made contact’ with PSG to express their interest in potentially signing Navas,” the report added. “However, it also reported that the Ligue 1 club want to keep Navas until the end of the season and are ‘closing the door’ on a January transfer.”
It’s not like the French side needs the money and they’re stacked at every single position. That’s a good problem to have for coach Pochettino, but Navas and Donnarumma may not be that pleased with the current arrangement.

Nearly a month later, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/international" target="_blank" rel="noopener">international</a> duty returns for a thrilling November window with a lot to be played for. The Final Round of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/concacaf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Concacaf</a> World Cup Qualification for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar-2022-t77804" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Qatar 2022</a> will resume and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/costa-rica" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Costa Rica</a> will try to bounce back from a weak start.
Los Ticos are currently <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/concacaf-final-round-of-the-2022-world-cup-qualification-standings-and-results-20211007-0030.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fifth in the standings</a> with six points after six rounds of play (W1 D3 L2), so they have work to do in order to get into the highly anticipated tournament for the third time in a row.
Costa Rica were one of the biggest surprises of the competition in 2014before suffering an early exit in the group stage four years later. However, both times they had <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/keylor-navas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Keylor Navas</a> between the sticks, so his absence this time will mean a huge blow.

<h2>Keylor Navas ruled out for Costa Rica’s games in November</h2>
The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/psg-t16721" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PSG</a> goalkeeper has started all six games for his national team during The Ocho so far. But he will be unable to extend that streak as the federation has confirmed he’s ruled out forthis international break.
Keylor Navas won’t play for Costa Rica because he suffered an injury onhis right elbow during <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/psg-roster-2021-2022-list-of-paris-saint-germain-players-this-season-20210809-0019.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Paris Saint-Germain</a>‘s 3-2 road win over Bordeaux in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/ligue-1-t40" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ligue 1</a>. He wasn’t forced off the game but shortly afterit was confirmed he picked up a strain.

“PSG goalkeeper Keylor Navas was reported injured by his club… The Parisian club’s medical staff reported that the goalkeeper received a strong knock on his right elbow and began to swell on the return flight to Paris. After an MRI, it was determined that the player suffers from a sprain with difficulty in extending the limb,” a Costa Rica national team statement read.

Why is Keylor Navas not playing for Costa Rica in Concacaf 2022 World Cup Qualifiers?

Why is Keylor Navas not playing for Costa Rica in Concacaf 2022 World Cup Qualifiers? - Bolavip US

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/psg-t16721" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PSG</a>were by far the big winners of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/lionel-messi-could-sign-with-psg-all-the-clubs-arrivals-for-2021-22-season-20210808-0019.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">summer transfer window</a>, and they’re about to complete one of the greatest signings in history by landing <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/lionel-messi-t13" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lionel Messi</a>. With the likes of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/neymar" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Neymar</a>, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/kylian-mbappe-t136335" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kylian Mbappé</a>, among many others, we might see <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/psg-lineup-with-lionel-messi-neymar-mbappe-sergio-ramos-in-a-superteam-20210806-0016.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">one of the best lineups of all time</a>in the 2021/22 season, with many high-profile players having to wait from the sidelines to see the field.
Even though they have one of the biggest budgets in Europe, Paris Saint-Germain didn’t need to splash the cash this summer to build an incredibly talented squad. They have landed world-class center-back Sergio Ramos, Georginio Wijnaldum, and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/euro-2020" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Euro 2020</a> hero Gianluigi Donnarumma for free, and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/lionel-messi-free-agent-who-will-take-barcelona-number-10-jersey-20210806-0012.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Messi</a> would arrive in the same way.
They did spent the money on Achraf Hakimi, but $66 million seems to be good business. Paris weren’t lacking a powerful squad at all, so these signings haveturned them into favorites for any tournament where they show up. Besides their mind-blowing lineup, their bench would look pretty dependable as well.
<div style="text-align:center">
<div class="ck-youtube" id="youtube-62"> </div>

<h2>How PSG’s bench would look like with Messi’s arrival</h2>
While Messi would help to configure one of the most impressive lineups of all time, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/psg-book-eiffel-tower-will-lionel-messi-be-announced-as-new-signing-20210806-0019.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Paris Saint-Germain</a> will also have arguably the strongest bench on the continent. From the goalkeeper to the No. 9, they’ll have plenty of world-class options on the sidelines.
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image"> <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210809_BUS_173990_keylor_navas_psg.jpg_22993414_cac08dcb.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption> Keylor Navas seems to be in a tough spot after PSG signed Gianluigi Donnarumma. (Getty) </figcaption></figure>
</div>
To begin with, who should the PSG goalkeeper be raises a big debate with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/keylor-navas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Keylor Navas</a> and Donnarumma in the race for the starting role. However, it seems like the Italian would be the starter, meaning they’d have a three-time UCL winner on the bench.
Their best defenderto probably miss a place in the starting eleven would be Presnel Kimpembe. Sergio Ramos and Marquinhos will likely set up the pair of center-backs, but the 25-year-old is a huge talent to have sitting outside.
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image"> <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210809_BUS_173990_ander_herrera_psg.jpg_22993414_c6a15c39.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption> Will Ander Herrera keep his spot? (Getty) </figcaption></figure>
</div>
Things will get more tricky for Mauricio Pochettino in the middle of the park. PSG have plenty of options in there but only a few will be entering the pitch from the first minute. Wijnaldum andLeandro Paredes could be in the center of the field, meaning Ander Herrera, Danilo Pereira, and even Marco Verratti could not see a place in the lineup, or it could perfectly happen the other way around. Either way, we’ll see outstanding midfielders being left out of the starting XI.
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image"> <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210809_BUS_173990_draxler_psg.jpg_22993414_9c85efed.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption> Julian Draxler could be the best PSG player on the bench, unless he starts instead of Di Maria. (Getty) </figcaption></figure>
</div>
When it comes to attacking midfielders, Angel Di María and Julian Draxler might fight for a spot, so one of these two would be a big impact player coming off the bench. In attack, there’s not much to guess: <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/lionel-messi-will-neymar-give-him-psg-no-10-jersey-20210807-0017.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Neymar</a>, Mbappe, and Messi could configure the best offensive trio in the world, with a renowned striker as Mauro Icardi probably having to sit on the bench.
