I am here eager to give it my all, to push myself, and to be on the court playing at the highest level. I have the mentality to make history, to be able to win a title. I believe we can achieve those goals by working with humility.<\/p>Keylor Navas<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nThe 38-year-old Costa Rican goalkeeper was presented on Thursday in an effort by Pumas to renew their squad and break a 14-year title drought.\n\nThe agreement with Pumas is for one year, and Newell’s Old Boys will receive 2 million dollars as part of the transfer.\n\nNavas and Ramos shared a locker room at Real Madrid for five seasons, winning three Champions League titles. Subsequently, they reunited at Paris Saint-Germain, where they won Ligue 1 in 2022.\n\nSergio Ramos, 39 years old, joined Monterrey at the beginning of this year.\n\n

Sergio told me a bit about his experience in Mexico. I know that James (Rodr\u00edguez) is also here and playing at a high level. The Liga MX is growing and is very competitive, with very good infrastructure, and I thought I would come to a club where we can compete for titles.<\/p>Keylor Navas<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n

I am joining a great club, and having him in the national team helps you make these decisions.\n\nNavas’ decision was also influenced by the proximity to his country, as Costa Rica will begin the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup in September, in Group C along with Honduras, Haiti and Nicaragua.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
