Rico promoted to number 2 if Navas leaves
PSG are discussing and leaving the door open to the departure of their goalkeeper, but the final decision will be up to them. The former Madridista, willing to join Serie A, took it. It is up to the leaders of the two clubs to agree now while discussions are also taking place for Fabian Ruiz (26).

Paris could thus free itself from one of the highest salaries in its workforce. Not insignificant when the capital club has not completed its recruitment. If Navas leaves, Sergio Rico will be promoted to number 2 for the rest of the season.
