The father of Keylor Navas has poured scorn over speculation that the goalkeeper is unhappy at Real Madrid.
The Costa Rica international only joined Los Blancos from Levante in the wake of last summer’s World Cup but has already been linked with an exit from the club after struggling to displace Iker Casillas between the sticks.
“Everything that’s been spoken [about my son leaving Madird] is a lie,” Freddy Navas told La Nacion.
“Keylor’s told me he doesn’t want to leave Real Madrid, he’s very happy [there]. He’s a fighter who wants to work hard and succeed at the club.
“He knows he has to fight for the title [of No 1]. It’s a process that he’s accepted very well. Some people, through the Press, want to undermine him, but he’s very strong.”
