Pumas UNAM is actively pursuing Costa Rican goalkeeper Keylor Navas as a potential reinforcement for their squad ahead of the Apertura 2025 season. Navas, a three-time UEFA Champions League winner, is considered a high-caliber option to replace departing goalkeeper Álex Padilla, who is expected to return to Athletic Bilbao. The club has reportedly initiated direct negotiations with Navas, who has expressed interest in joining Pumas. However, the transfer faces obstacles as Navas is currently under contract with Newell's Old Boys, which does not have a release clause, complicating his departure. Newell's is reportedly reluctant to let Navas leave easily, requiring the player to negotiate his exit. Alongside Navas, Colombian goalkeeper David Ospina is also mentioned as a candidate for the position. Meanwhile, Pumas have already secured Aaron Ramsey and are close to signing Angulo, with ambitions to further strengthen their roster. In parallel, Guillermo Ochoa, the veteran Mexican goalkeeper and six-time CONCACAF Gold Cup winner, has announced his farewell to the Gold Cup tournament, signaling the end of an era. Despite his achievements and desire to participate in the 2026 World Cup, opinions are divided on whether he should remain Mexico's starting goalkeeper, with some experts advocating for a generational renewal in the position.
