Real Madrid have agreed a deal for Levante goalkeeper Keylor Navas following his outstanding World Cup display with Costa Rica, reported by aSpanish sports daily Marca on Wednesday.
Keylor Navas helped his country progress from a group that included England, Italy and Uruguay before Costa Rica fell in a penalty shootout to the Netherlands in the quarterfinals (3-4).
"Keylor at Madrid," headlined the front page of the newspaper, which stated that Real Madrid had met Levante's €10 million release clause.
"Closed last week. Eight of the ten million clause is for Levante and 2 for the 27-year-old Costa Rican keeper," the newspaper said.
According to Marca, the transaction will be sealed in the coming days, the time it takes to organise a transfer for keeper Diego Lopez to another club, possibly Napoli in the Serie A or French Ligue 1 side Monaco.
Navas was one of the sensations of the World Cup in Brazil, where Costa Rica made history by reaching the quarterfinals for the first time in its history.
He was voted man of the match in three of the five matches he played –England, Greece and the Netherlands.
Navas's contract with Levante runs until June 2015
