Pumas Secures Keylor Navas With New Deal Through 2027

Club leadership intervened to close the renewal after earlier disagreements over salary, term length.

Overview

  • Pumas announced the extension on March 20 with 2027 imagery, stating president Luis Raúl González Pérez and vice president Antonio Sancho formalized the agreement.
  • At a March 21 press conference, Navas cited team unity, his family’s wellbeing, and a strong relationship with coach Efraín Juárez as key reasons for staying.
  • Talks had previously stalled as the sides haggled over economics and duration, with his prior contract due to expire in June 2026.
  • Media reports had linked the goalkeeper to MLS options—most notably Minnesota United—while Pumas explored contingencies such as inquiring about Hugo González.
  • The club’s confirmation ended conflicting social-media claims and secures continuity in goal for Pumas during the Clausura run-in.
