Report: Keylor Navas included in Real Madrid's deal with Manchester United for David De Gea
It seems as though Keylor Navas will indeed be part of the monumental deal that will see David De Gea leave Manchester United in favour of a move to Real Madrid.
Multiple reports suggest that, contrary to initial beliefs, the Costa Rican shot-stopper will be sent to Old Trafford along with cash, with the Spaniard heading back the other way.
Navas accepts. De Gea deal done!! €40m all-in. £29m. Manchester United happy - near record for player with 1 year left

Multiple players have been linked with a move to United as part of the lengthy saga that is the De Gea transfer, with Sergio Ramos and Gareth Bale both thought to be on the Red Devils' wish list at various points in the summer.
With the former signing a new contract and the latter being deemed untouchable, it looks as though United will ultimately land Navas, a Costa Rican international who will instantly become the team's first-choice goalkeeper.
Not a bad consolation prize.
