The Real Madrid goalkeeper was a reported transfer target for Liverpool.
The Reds have well documented problems in the goalkeeping department, with both Simon Mignolet and Loris Karius making high-profile errors on a consistent basis.
Jürgen Klopp’s side have been magnificent going forward, but their fragile back-line has hampered their progress, and is arguably the sole reason why they are so far behind Manchester City in the Premier League table.
Many Reds fans have been calling for Klopp to bring in a top-class ‘keeper for some time now, and it seems as if the German at least made an effort to do just that.
Diario Gol claim that Liverpool, as well as La Liga side Sevilla, made approaches to sign the 31-year-old Costa Rican last month, but he chose to remain at the Bernabeu.
Navas joined Madrid from Levante in the summer of 2014, for a fee believed to be worth in the region of £7.9 million, and he has gone on to make 120 appearances for the reigning European champions.
He would have represented a sound singing for the Merseyside outfit, but if Diario Gol are to be believed, it looks as if Klopp will have to seek out alternative targets, as his search for a new goalkeeper goes on.
