Keylor Navas may be the second choice in the goalkeeper hierarchy, but his influence is growing in the PSG locker room.
He’s become a father figure, an uncle, a big brother, a guide, or simply an experienced player. Keylor Navas seems to be enjoying his new role at PSG. Despite being behind Gigi Donnarumma in the pecking order, the Costa Rican goalkeeper decided to stay in Paris, with his substantial salary being a convincing factor.
According to AS, coach Luis Enrique expects the veteran player to share his experience with all his teammates. Keylor Navas has become a role model within the PSG team, and his wealth of experience will be invaluable during crucial moments for the club.
With PSG’s squad undergoing a rejuvenation process this season, Keylor Navas assumes the role of a “captain without an armband,” as described by the Spanish media. As evidence, he recently organized a barbecue at his home with the entire PSG squad.
At the age of 36, he is by far the most experienced player in the Parisian locker room, often being twice the age of some of his teammates, such as Warren Zaïre-Emery at 17, or Bradley Barcola and Gonçalo Ramos, aged 21 and 22, respectively.
