Nottingham Forest pursuit of PSG goalkeeper Keylor Navas is beginning to take shape, according to reports.
The veteran shot-stopper won three Champions Leagues with Real Madrid before signing for the French club in 2019. Navas played every minute for Costa Rica at the recent World Cup but has found minutes at PSG harder to come by this season after losing his place to Gianluigi Donnarumma.
Navas is yet to feature in Ligue 1, with his two appearances so far coming in the Coupe de France. Forest are reported to be in the hunt for a goalkeeper, following Dean Henderson’s injury, and the club are claimed to be considering a move for the 36-year-old.

It has been reported by the Daily Mail that the Reds are “focusing strongly” on a deal for Navas, after manager Steve Cooper admitted that the club were weighing up whether to bring in a goalkeeper this month. Journalist Tom Collomosse has stated that Forest are looking for an initial loan deal, instead of a permanent transfer.
It was previously suggested by Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo that Cooper’s side could snap up Navas for less than €5m. The report claimed that Forest were the Premier League side to hold the “most interest” in the former Real Madrid number, with Leicester City and Bournemouth also touted as potential suitors.
When asked if he was looking to sign a goalkeeper in Henderson’s absence, Cooper said: “It’s still something we’re thinking about. We actually thought Dean’s injury might have been initially a lot longer than what it’s actually going to be.
“He couldn’t have played in the semi-finals anyway, and unfortunately we were knocked out of the FA Cup, so there’s a bit of a break in Premier League football. We’re weighing all of that up and seeing whether it’s right to go with what we’ve got.”
