BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Ex-Real Madrid goalkeeper Keylor Navas is set to transfer to the UNAM Pumas of the Mexican league after a six-month stint in Argentina with Newell’s Old Boys.
The 38-year-old Navas signed a two-year deal last January with Newell’s Old Boys, but he received an offer from Pumas two weeks ago.
The Argentinian club on Monday said it will receive $2 million as part of the transfer deal. Pumas is yet to make an official announcement.
Navas missed the first two league matches in Argentina, the first due to sickness sickness and the second because he asked to be left on the bench.
“Commitment, professionalism, and respect for the club’s values are non-negotiable,” Newell's Old Boys said. “To achieve our goals, it is essential that each member pulls in the same direction, always prioritizing the team over the individual.”
Newell’s, Lionel Messi’s boyhood club, is based in Rosario, 300 kilometers (186 miles) northeast of Buenos Aires.
Navas signed with Newell’s Old Boys after finishing his second spell with Paris Saint-Germain, where he made just six appearances in all competitions.
He played four seasons in a successful first stint at PSG, helping the club secure two French league titles.
Navas made his professional debut with Saprissa in Costa Rica in 2005 and began his European career four years later with Albacete. He then moved to Levante and signed with Real Madrid for the 2014-15 season.
With Real Madrid, Navas won a league title and a Super Cup, as well as three Champions League titles. He also featured in three World Cups for Costa Rica.

DETROIT (AP) — Riley Greene homered and Kevin McGonigle drove in two runs as the Detroit Tigers beat Gerrit Cole for the first time in 10 years, winning 5-3 against the New York Yankees on Monday night.
Framber Valdez (4-5) outpitched Cole, giving up one run on four hits and two walks in six innings. The left-hander struck out eight as the Tigers won their fourth straight game.
Cole (2-2) entered 10-1 with a 1.84 ERA in 14 career starts against Detroit, with his only loss coming as a member of the Pittsburgh Pirates on April 14, 2016. But the 2023 AL Cy Young Award winner wasn't very sharp this time, allowing five runs and nine hits in 4 1/3 innings. He struck out five.
Minus injured slugger Aaron Judge, the Yankees have lost three in a row and four of five. They still have the best record in the American League at 46-31.
New York got a run in the second when José Caballero walked, stole second and scored on Ali Sánchez's double.
Detroit took the lead with three runs in the third.
Zack McKinstry led off with a triple and scored on McGonigle's groundout. Cole struck out Dillon Dingler for the second out, but the next four hitters reached base, including RBI singles by Spencer Torkelson and Colt Keith.
McGonigle's RBI double gave the Tigers a 4-1 lead in the fourth, and Greene's 422-foot homer made it 5-1 in the fifth.
Sánchez exited in the seventh after being hit on the left wrist by a pitch. Amed Rosario homered two pitches later to make it 5-3.
A pair of infield singles brought Jasson Domínguez to the plate with two on and two outs in the eighth, but Will Vest came out of the bullpen to strike him out. Vest also pitched the ninth for his second save.
The game was delayed for seven minutes in the fourth when a camera installed in front of second base popped up through the grass. Despite the best efforts of Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. to rebury the camera, the grounds crew had to come out to fix the field.
The teams continue their three-game series Tuesday night, with Detroit RHP Casey Mize (2-4, 2.58 ERA) scheduled to face LHP Carlos Rodón (3-2, 3.50).
