Club America coach Fernando Ortiz has reportedly said that the club would "consider" Keylor Navas after the Nottingham Forest goalkeeper talked up the possibility of moving to the Mexican side.
The Costa Rican joined the Reds during the January transfer window on loan from French champions PSG and has been a regular fixture in the Forest team. Navas has played 10 times for Steve Cooper's side during the current campaign with previous No 1 Dean Henderson out injured.
But the 36-year-old has spoken about his future beyond this season with Forest reportedly having no option or obligation to make Navas' move to the City Ground permanent.

“Mexico has great teams, for me. I would like to play for [Club] América. That’s the truth,” he said in comments to Paramount+ according to Sport Witness .
And now the Club America coach Fernando Ortiz has had his say on the potential of Navas joining his side. In comments reported by Record in Mexico, he said: “All the elite players want to play for Club América.
"If Keylor Navas was available and in suitable condition, we would consider him in the future to add to that position."
Navas is expected to start again for Forest on Sunday when they face Manchester United in the Premier League. The Reds will be desperate to get back to winning ways as they sit in the relegation zone on goal difference.
