Completes St. Louis move
Navarro is heading to St. Louis City after leaving Colorado Rapids, signing a contract until the 2029/30 season, with an option for 2030/31, the club announced Wednesday.
Analysis: Navarro has the potential to become a big signing for his new team, having already reached double digits in scoring for the third year in a row with 10 goals, in addition to three assists across 22 MLS starts in 2026. His finishing talent and consistency make him a serious candidate to take over a spot in St. Louis' front line either alongside or in place of an in-form Simon Becher. In that case, the Brazilian will look to make an instant impact for a side that has scored multiple goals in three of its last four matches.
Takes four shots in win
Navarro generated four shots (zero on goal) and one cross (one accurate) in Saturday's 1-0 victory against Real Salt Lake.
Analysis: Navarro led Colorado in shots as usual, but couldn't find the back of the net during their home win. The forward also logged the most tackles (three) and duels won (nine) in a goo all-around effort. He has 10 goals and three assists in 22 appearances (22 starts) in 2026.
