This transfer window deadline wasn't anything less than surprising. Real Madrid wanted to land Manchester United Goalkeeper David De Gea who was identified as the new Galactico. The deal was almost final and Costa Rica Goalkeeper Keylor Navas had to move into the opposite direction according to deal.
Keylor Navas revealed this speaking to a Spanish radio station Cadena COPE.
He was due to board a plane to finalize his deal with Manchester United but the communication between both clubs collapsed which saw both the players to stay at their respective clubs. Further David De Gea signed a four year deal with United.
Navas said " [Deadline day] was one of the worst day of my football career"
"I cried when transfer window closed, near my wife. I'm a human and everything exploded. I was waiting in the airport even without suitcases. I was not on the plane but I was very near."
Navas felt that he was hurt that club was prepared to sign a new goalkeeper to replace him though he hinted he never wanted to leave Real Madrid."
He went on to say, " It was a complicated situation, I wanted to play and to watch how others [De Gea] play above me is difficult to interpret. At 19 CET my agent says me 'you have to take a plane' and i was waiting in a room."
"The contract arrived too late and my agent reviewed it and was correct. I didn't want to go. I did my medicals in the Valdebebas and after that I didn't return to the airport."
"There was no time, then I went home. It was complicated. I arrived home and I started to cry"
He has been brilliant this season so far without conceding a single goal. He also has been awarded by his commitment, he has signed a multi million deal with Adidas and Real Madrid have agreed to improve his contract.
