Keylor Navas is caught in the middle of a sticky situation following the lawsuit of a former employee. The PSG goalkeeper will need to find a new club after June 30th, but this recent scandal may narrow his options.

Accused by former employee

According to BFMTV, a private employee filed a complaint with the Versailles Prosecutor's Officer, accusing Keylor Navas of work exploitation.

Since September 2019

The employee underlined in his complaint that he was working for the former Costa Rican goalkeeper for 20 months, during which he never had a contract.

Armed and dangerous

Furthermore, according to BFMTV, Keylor Navas forced his employee to carry a weapon on him at all times, which he claimed, caused him constant insecurity.

Without contract and more hours than established

BFMTV further reports on how the former goalkeeper would have his employee working over 60 hours a week.

Cash payment

As to be expected, the PSG goalkeeper arranged a series of monthly cash payments, to avoid any taxes. The former employee claimed to receive €3,200 (£2,720/$3,480) every month.

Horrible housing

Payments aside, the former employee has also complained about the horrid living conditions he was placed under during his time of employment. Keylor Navas housed him in a damp windowless basement for two years.

The video that complicates everything even more

To make matters worse, the former employee approached Navas back in the day asking to regularize his employment situation, a conversation which he recorded...

"We work according to my rules"

"Here we do not work with French laws, I pay you in cash and we work according to my rules," the goalkeeper says in the video.

Shots fired

Keylor Navas also stands accused of shooting off a firearm in his garden. "Sometimes he would shoot like that on his property, just to please himself or show it to his friends," shared his former employee. The former Real Madrid goalkeeper has found himself in a pickle and will most likely struggle to find a team after this scandal. Let us know what you think in the comments!
