Scout report

Experienced headGoalkeeper

K. Navas is a 39-year-old goalkeeper at U.N.A.M. - Pumas, enjoying a standout season — 0 goals and 0 assists in 38 appearances, a Season grade of 25, top 17% of Liga MX goalkeepers. On long-term scout potential he's rated 16.6, ranking 316th of 340 in the Liga MX. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present (92.9% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Navas.

Judged on this season alone, Navas graded 25 — a strong campaign that ranks top 17% of the 24 goalkeepers in the Liga MX, on 11 clean sheets across 38 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 3 → 25). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 17, 17th of 24 of the 24 goalkeepers in the Liga MX. At 39 Navas is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.8 reflects that trajectory.

11 clean sheets in 38 appearances (29% of games). Playing behind a title-challenging side (1st of 18) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 92.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 39, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 16.6, Navas carries the 17th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Liga MX of 24. A near ever-present keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
