“This is the most important day of my career,” Navas said. “I want to give my all and I’m happy to belong to the best club in the world. If I’m here, it’s not because I won the lottery. I feel capable of taking on the challenge. When you work hard, you feel ready to do it. I’m very calm, I have to train well, be available for the staff and seize my chance when it comes.”
Navas is expected to compete for the starting goalkeeper position, with Real Madrid’s coaching staff confident in his abilities to deliver at the highest level.
The signing is seen as a key move by the club to strengthen their defensive options following an impressive World Cup campaign where Navas was praised for his agility and composure under pressure.
As he embarks on this new chapter, Navas aims to build on his international performances and establish himself as a mainstay in Real Madrid’s lineup.
