"Real Madrid? Stop everything else. That is the number one priority."

Keylor Navas, Costa Rica goal keeper, surely looks like he is to join Real Madrid, to end the team's woes on th goalkeeping post.

He will be leaving Levante and his status is already a 'pending official confirmation.

Navas had a great performance in the World Cup when he played for the Los Ticos. According to Marxa, a Spanish newspaper, Real Madrid is paying him $13 million. However, the $10 million fraction of the said money will be given to the team, and only $2.7 million will go to Navas himself.

According to Marca, too, Navas' signing will be made official once that Real Madrid finds a sure buyer for Diego Lopez.

On the other hand, Napoli and Monaco have been the leading contenders for the Galician.

Bayern Munich give some intentions about signing navas, too. But surely Navas is just a back- up for Golden Glove winner Manuel Neuer, for the 2014 World Cup. Of course they favour the 2014 World Cup cahmpions more, too.

Nevertheless, Navas' performance in the World Cup could arguably be next to Neuer's. His concentration is evident during the games, as the Costa Rica team also had their best campaign in the World Cup ever for this year, reaching up to the quarter finals.

Levante is such a small club compared to Real Madrid. Navas is the successor of Iker Casillas. If the Los Ticos goalkeeper fails to impress on the upcoming Premiere League, then, surely the fans will go chanting for the veteran to return on the Real Madrid team.

Keylor Navas is a 27- year- old player now. He's had 58 international caps as of the moment. He was named man of the match for three games in the previous World Cup: Netherlands vs. Costa Rica, Costa Rica vs. Greece, and Costa Rica vs. England.
