The arrival of Keylor Navas at Monza fell through at the 11th hour after the team had already booked his medicals. Late problems emerged between the parties, and the Brianzoli are moving on, Gianluca Di Marzio relays.
The Lombardy team is targeting Rui Patricio now, who has left Roma as a free agent. He lost the starting to Mile Svilar shortly after Daniele De Rossi took over the dugout. José Mourinho brought him to the Eternal City and stuck with him through his up-and-down showings. He starred 129 times for them, conceding 134 goals and keeping 48 clean sheets. He played for Wolverhampton and Sporting CP earlier in his career.
Monza sold Michele Di Gregorio and intend to replace him with a veteran goalie and had eyed Wojciech Szczesny before pursuing Keylor Navas and the former Giallorossi shot-stopper. Prospective starter Alessio Cragno recently underwent surgery to stabilize his right shoulder and will be out for a few months.
The Pole is still available, but his salary is too rich for them. Al-Ittihad have listed him as a fallback to Manchester City’s Ederson, TuttoSport informs. In any case, he’ll leave the Bianconeri. He’s training on his own away from the team after Euro 2024. A transfer to the MLS could also be an option.
Our Take on Monza, Keylor Navas, and Rui Patricio
The days of the condor Adriano Galliani aren’t upon us yet, but, the longer it takes, the easier it’ll be for them to snap up Szczesny. The Old Lady will face more pressure to offload him and could be more lenient about a large severance package.
