(ANSA) – ROME, AUG 24 – Costa Rica goalie Keylor Navas has been linked to a move from Paris Saint-Germain to Napoli.
The 35-year-old former Real Madrid keeper is reportedly keen to leave PSG after the French club’s coach Christophe Galtier, the former Nice and Lille boss, reportedly said he would make Italy and ex-AC Milan shotstopper Gigio Donnarumma the first choice between the sticks.
Last season, his first in the French capital after a high-profile and controversial move from Milan, the Azzurro often played second fiddle to Navas under former PSG boss Mauricio Pochettino, who was sacked after failing to bring the Parisians European glory.
Napoli sources said Wednesday the southern Italian club, currently on top of Serie A on goal difference after notching nine strikes in their first two Serie A matches, was intensifying its efforts to secure Navas’s services in place of Donnarumma’s Italian understudy Alex Meret.
They said the veteran Costa Rican could have a medical in Naples later this week.
But Napoli are also considering Chelsea’s Spain goalkeeper Kepa, the sources said.
The Partenopei were said to have a channel open with Stamford Bridge in the event of the Navas talks falling through. (ANSA).
