The father of Keylor Navas has said his son is very happy at Real Madrid and has dismissed speculation linking him with a move away.
The Costa Rican keeper has only made seven appearances all season since his arrival in the summer, and reports in the press in the UK have suggested Liverpool could be interested in him as they look for a replacement for error-prone shot stopper Simon Mignolet.
But speaking to La Nacion newspaper, Freddy Navas said his son was happy in the Spanish capital and would fight for his place in the team.
“Everything that’s been spoken [about my son leaving Madird] is a lie,” he said.
And he continued: “Keylor’s told me he doesn’t want to leave Real Madrid, he’s very happy [there]. He’s a fighter who wants to work hard and succeed at the club. He knows he has to fight for the title [of No 1]. It’s a process that he’s accepted very well. Some people, through the Press, want to undermine him, but he’s very strong.”
Navas earned himself a big money move to Madrid after some stellar performances for Levante last season and followed it up by starring for Costa Rica in the World Cup as the minnows made it to the quarter finals in Brazil.
