Nottingham Forest are reportedly considering a shock move for PSG goalkeeper Keylor Navas.
The 36-year-old has enjoyed a glittering career and collected a sizable trophy haul, including three Champions League winners’ medals from his time at Real Madrid. Navas joined PSG in 2019 but has been usurped by Gigi Donnarumma this season, making just one appearance so far in the Coupe de France.
Forest have been dealt an injury blow as Dean Henderson's thigh injury could keep the England international out until the end of February, leaving the club to call upon back-up ‘keeper Wayne Hennessey. However, Steve Cooper's side are claimed to be in the market for a spectacular replacement in Henderson’s absence.

The Athletic has reported that Forest have added the Costa Rica international to their “list” of goalkeeping targets. Navas had already been linked with a move away from PSG and was touted to reunite with former Real Madrid teammate Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr.
The report from The Athletic added that Cooper’s side are “exploring several options” but could be rivalled by a fellow Premier League side for Navas’ signature, whose contract runs until 2024. Bournemouth are also said to be looking at strengthening their goalkeeping department, having flipped between Mark Travers and Neto this season.
Similar reports have emerged in France, too. It was reported by Foot Mercato , via L’Equipe , that “two new suitors” - Forest and an unnamed Premier League club - had entered the race to sign the PSG ‘keeper.
Foot Mercato claim that Navas is getting “closer” to a move away from PSG. It is stated that Al-Nassr would be willing to meet his wage demands but that the opportunity to play in the Premier League could tempt the veteran shot-stopper.
