Navas to leave PSG at end of season

Keylor Navas has confirmed that he will leave Paris Saint-Germain when his contract expires at the end of the season.

Navas joined PSG in 2019, making 113 appearances for the club while keeping 51 clean sheets. He won nine major honours with the French club, including three Ligue 1 titles and two Coupe de France medals.

The Costa Rica international also collected a Champions League runner-up medal in 2019-20.

Navas served as the first-choice goalkeeper for the first two seasons but has struggled for playing time since Gianluigi Donnarumma joined the club in 2021.

Since returning to PSG after a loan spell at Nottingham Forest, Navas has made just three Ligue 1 appearances this campaign.

In a statement on social media, Navas confirmed that he would be leaving the French capital and will use their home game against Toulouse on Sunday to say goodbye to the fans.

He said: “Every second spent at the Parc des Princes was wonderful.

“Thank God, I have always felt love and encouragement.

“It was an honour to defend this badge in this incredible stadium.

“I still have some goals to accomplish, but I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to say goodbye to what used to be my home.”

His departure follows the news that Kylian Mbappe will also be leaving the Ligue 1 champions, with the forward making his announcement on Friday.
