Real Madrid have signed Costa Rica
goalkeeper Keylor Navas on a six-year
deal.
Navas was a star performer for his
country in Brazil this summer as they
reached the quarter-finals of the Fifa
World Cup for the first time.
The 27-year-old moves to the Santiago
Bernabeu from La Liga side Levante.
It is believed the European champions
were required to pay £7.9m to Levante
to activate the keeper's release clause.
Navas will be presented to the club's
fans at the Bernabeu on Tuesday after
undergoing a medical.
A statement published on Real's official
website on Sunday evening read: "Real
Madrid CF and Levante UD have
reached an agreement over the transfer
of Keylor Navas, who will be tied to the
club for the next six seasons."
The keeper is the third player to join
the European champions this summer
after the signings of German World Cup
winner Toni Kroos and Columbian
forward James Rodriguez.
Navas will provide competition for
Spanish keepers Iker Casillas and Diego
Lopez.
