The goalkeeper was one of the best performers in
La Liga last season with Levante and followed up
his stellar 2013-14 by starring with Costa Rica at
the World Cup, reaching the quarter-finals
thanks to his heroics between the sticks.
Levante president Quico Catalan confirmed last
week that his club were in talks with Real over a
potential transfer and the European champions
have now completed the formalities of the deal.
A statement on their official website read: "Real
Madrid CF and Levante UD have reached an
agreement for the transfer of the player Keylor
Navas, who is linked to the club over the next
six seasons.
"The player will be presented on Tuesday, August
5, at 13:00CET at the Bernabeu, after undergoing
the relevant medical examination."
Navas, 27, was Levante's first-choice
goalkeeper last season, having previously played
second fiddle to Gustavo Munua at the Valencia-
based club.
During the World Cup, he kept clean sheets
against England and Italy, before also remaining
unbeaten for 120 minutes against the
Netherlands, who ultimately saw off Costa Rica
in a penalty shoot-out to reach the semi-final.
