Last updated : 20 March 2007 By Martyn Bowers
The former-Real Madrid defender, who now plays for Gimnastic de Tarragona (on-loan), was rumoured to be close to joining Charlton in the summer.

Aston Villa, Premiership surprise package Reading, and Championship promotion contenders Sunderland, are all credited with an interest in the Malaga star.

Navas, 25, said: "Sincerely for me this is the first news I have heard but it is certain that in the past Malaga have received an offer and rejected it.

"It is flattering but I only desire to work hard to help Nastic in the fight for safety."
