The year that Keylor Navas could have signed for Racing
Keylor Navas' career could have been different if Racing had gone for the goalkeeper in 2009. The ex-manager of the Argentine side, Ricardo Caruso, confessed that Racing ruled him out.
Keylor Navas started his sporting career at Deportivo Saprissa before making the jump to Spanish football. First, he played for Albacete then for Levante until he became a starter and a legend in the Real Madrid goal.
Before, the Costa Rican could have changeD course because Racing de Avellaneda were watching him when he was 21 and still hadn't packed his bags for Spain.
"In 2009 he wasn't halfway, nor was he close to everything he stopped at Real Madrid," said former Racing manager Ricardo Caruso on 'RacingManiacos'.
The Argentine club didn't opt for the goalkeeper, who at that time had only played 5 matches for Deportivo Saprissa until he found a spot in 2009-10, playing 31 matches.
Years on and Keylor Navas is the PSG player with the most European titles with 3 Champions League and 3 European Supercups. In his first season at the French side, the Costa Rican has conceded an average of less than one goal in the 32 matches he has played.
