Keylor Navas crowned top goalkeeper in Americas and stays quiet on Pumas future

Former Boca Juniors player Christian “Chaco” Giménez selected Keylor Navas as the best goalkeeper in the history of the Americas, ranking him ahead of Guillermo Ochoa, Emiliano “Dibu” Martínez, José Luis Chilavert and Alisson Becker. Navas, 39, was recently named the best keeper of the Liga MX Clausura 2026 while playing for Pumas UNAM, where he helped the team reach the sub‑championship with his saves and leadership.

Amid speculation about teammate Efraín Juárez possibly leaving Pumas, Navas broke his silence on Instagram, posting a brief message thanking fans for voting him into the Liga MX 11‑ideal. The post omitted any reference to Pumas and did not end with his usual “Goya” chant, drawing attention from observers who noted the lack of direct club mention during the rumors.

These developments highlight Navas’s continued prominence in North and Central American football, both on the field as a highly regarded goalkeeper and off it as a figure subject to transfer speculation.
