And thus Keylor Navas, the unhappy makeweight in all of this, remained at the Bernabeu – albeit feeling a bit unwanted after being shoveled into a deal for the 24-year-old Spaniard.
“The transfer to Untied was complicated, it is not a comfortable situation”. I have had the chance to stay and I will give my best. That’s the only thing it matters.
‘I am aware the fans always backed me in any situation’.
The Costa Rica global has been impressive for Los Blancos since the collapse of the exit, with his clean sheet in Saturday’s 1-0 win over Granada a fifth in a row in all competitions.
“I’m happy to be here and I want to continue along the same line”.
