Time to say goodbye. Sunday evening, several personalities from Paris Saint-Germain bowed out during the match against Toulouse Football Club. This was the case of the historic speaker of the capital club, Michel Montana. After 26 years of good and loyal service, the voice of the Parc des Princes has gone. At the same time, some of the supporters said goodbye to Kylian Mbappé. Free next June, the 25-year-old played his last match at home, he who was entitled to a nice tifo in his honor. Keylor Navas (37 years old) was not honored in the same way.

Starting goalkeeper upon his arrival, the former Real Madrid player quickly impressed before losing his place to the young and promising Gianluigi Donnarumma. A difficult downgrade to live with for the native of San Isidro. Last year, he was loaned to Nottingham Forest for six months in order to have regular playing time and take some pressure off “Gigio”. Back last summer, Navas was approached by several teams including Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia. We said that with Donnarumma confirmed as No. 1 by Luis Enrique and the arrival of Arnau Tenas, he would leave.

But ultimately, he stayed in Paris. During his last year, he was used 5 times. In detail, he played 2 Coupe de France matches and 3 in Ligue 1 (Lille, Reims, HAC). We imagined that he would be there against TFC on Sunday. Especially since he had formalized his departure from PSG the day before. “Every second spent at the Parc des Princes was wonderful. Thank God I always felt their affection and encouragement. It was an honor to defend this badge in this incredible stadium. I still have goals to achieve, but I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to say goodbye to what was my home.”

He would have liked to say goodbye while playing but Luis Enrique, who said he was not aware that Navas was playing his last match at the Parc des Princes, preferred to play Arnau Tenas. No matter, the footballer from Costa Rica was able to celebrate the title with his team and the public, who cheered him on. He still has 3 matches left with the Parisians before leaving the free club for good on June 30. This did not escape the attention of a team seduced by his high-level experience and his qualities. Indeed, according to The Chiriguinto, San Diego FC is on the case. The club, which will hit the MLS pitches in 2025, is also flirting with several of its former teammates in Madrid, namely Sergio Ramos, Nacho and Luka Modric. It remains to be seen whether Keylor Navas will be won over.
