Immediately after taking ownership of Newcastle, the owners of Saudi Arabia planned to improve the force for this team from January 2022. Their first big target is PSG goalkeeper Keylor Navas.
Keylor Navas has been one of the top goalkeepers in the world for many years now. However, the 34-year-old Costa Rican star is always underrated for his inherent ability.
After making a great contribution to helping Real Madrid win the Champions League 3 times in a row, Keylor Navas lost his position to Courtois – a more famous goalkeeper. Moving to PSG, Navas continued to have high-level performances, but he was once again pushed to the bench by the younger, more established star. This time it’s Gianluigi Donnarumma.
Navas is losing his place at PSG
According to The Sun, Navas will almost leave PSG in 2022. In that context, Newcastle have decided to add Navas’ name to the list of top stars they pursue after changing owners.
Newcastle’s new owner is the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund, with assets of more than 300 billion pounds. The billionaires of Saudi Arabia have pledged to pour money into “Shoots” to recruit stars within the limits allowed by financial fair play. Losing positions but still being appreciated as Navas is their priority.
The ambition of the Newcastle owner is to turn this club into the new Man City and they aim to win the Premier League in the next 5 years. However, with a squad base without big stars, Newcastle will have to find the right names to increase the strength and attraction of the team.
