Barcelona will be without their starting goalkeeper for the remainder of the season, prompting them to explore the transfer market.
Under current regulations, players with existing contracts cannot be transferred, but free agents can be signed. Unemployed players are those without contracts after the registration period ends. According to Defensa Central, Barcelona is considering several well-known goalkeepers, including Keylor Navas, Edgar Badia, Loris Karius, Jordi Masip, and Tomas Vaclik. They may either sign one of these players or promote a younger player until the winter transfer window.
If Barcelona manages to secure Navas, it would significantly impact Real Madrid, as he has previously expressed admiration for the club. Last summer, Navas offered his services to Real Madrid, but the club was uninterested due to concerns about their second-string players.
The newspaper reported that Navas has informed Barcelona of his willingness to accept a salary reduction to facilitate his move to the club soon. Deco is eager to finalize the deal, valuing the extensive experience of the Costa Rican goalkeeper. Ultimately, the final decision rests with Flick, the technical director of Barcelona, and if he approves Navas’s transfer, the agreement will be finalized quickly.
