One of the goals scored by Rafael Navarro was in the game against Inter Miami, a team that has great stars of world football, such as Messi, Suárez, Sérgio Busquets and Jordi Alba, all ex-Barcelona. On that occasion, the match ended in a 2-2 draw, with the Argentine number 10 scoring one of the Miami team’s goals.
Navarro’s loan contract with the Colorado Rapids is valid until June 30 of this year. The North American team has the option, at the end of the agreement, to buy 80% of the center forward’s rights for 5 million dollars (around R$26.4 million).
Currently, the Colorado Rapids are fifth in the MLS Western Conference, with 12 points, just three behind the leader Los Angeles Galaxy. The team’s next match will be this Saturday, against FC Dallas.
