FC Barcelona faces an urgent need for a new goalkeeper following the serious injury to Marc-André ter Stegen, who could be sidelined for seven to nine months due to a patellar tendon injury. In light of this situation, Keylor Navas has emerged as a leading candidate to bolster the Catalan club's goalkeeping position.

The 37-year-old Navas is currently a free agent after leaving Paris Saint-Germain, making him an ideal candidate for a signing outside the transfer window. With extensive experience in La Liga, where he was a key player for Real Madrid, and proven ability in high-level competitions, Navas could provide the solution Barcelona needs at this critical time.

Despite his past with Real Madrid, many at Barcelona recognize his value and skills, sparking a debate about the suitability of his signing. Additionally, the good relationship between Jorge Mendes, his agent, and Joan Laporta, the president of Barcelona, could facilitate negotiations.
