 Costa Rica goalkeeper Keylor Navas has been signed by Real Madrid from Levante . Navas has agreed to a six-year deal yet the club did not disclose financial details of the deal.






The Real Madrid President Florentino Pérez welcomed the Costa Rican goalkeeper saying  “We have an excellent squad, but we want to continue growing". "You are one of the best goalkeepers in the world and now you will undertake the greatest challenge of your professional life", said  Pérez.

“His performances were key to his country reaching the quarter-finals of the World Cup for the very first time. Your fantastic progress, your talent and your ability to work hard have brought you to Real Madrid. These fans will be by your side until your last breath as long as you live by one of this team's core mottos: never give up”. Real Madrid's President Florentino Pérez added.,

Keylor Navas becoming emotional after having made his dream come true said “I would like to thank God for making this dream come true. This is the most important day of my footballing career to date. Thank you Real Madrid, the people of Costa Rica and the Real Madrid fans”.

Navas was one of Costa Rica's best players in its surprising run to the quarterfinals at the World Cup in Brazil, where it beat Uruguay, Italy and Greece before losing a penalty shootout to the Netherlands. Navas made a string of saves in that quarterfinal as Costa Rica held the Dutch 0-0 through 120 minutes.
