Goalkeeper Secretly Happy Over Transfer That Flopped…
Keylor Navas couldn’t be happier that his big transfer to Manchester United fell through, pouring happy tears like a stand-up comedian who got the joke of his life! Back in 2015, Navas was set for a swap with David De Gea to Real Madrid. Alas, the real superhero that day was the ‘fax machine malfunction,’ saving him from moving during the transfer frenzy. “It felt like a ticking emotional bomb,” Navas told Spanish radio. He anxiously waited at the airport but never boarded, like a tourist missing a flight to Boringtown.
Staying at Madrid turned out to be the golden ticket for Navas. He became a monument for Real’s success, snagging three consecutive Champions League titles faster than a cheetah at a dessert table. Meanwhile, De Gea didn’t experience as much glory at United but did manage to add some silverware. Navas eventually joined PSG in 2019, wrapping up his legendary stint with Spanish and French triumphs. Although his club status is currently akin to a UFO—unidentified and floating about—his impact at Madrid guarantees his legacy will be as enduring as a cat’s craving for a sunny window spot.
