MADRID (Reuters) - Real Madrid goalkeeper Keylor Navas is delighted to still be with the club after his planned swap with Manchester United stopper David Gea fell through in farcical circumstances last month, coach Rafa Benitez said on Friday.

Real and United had tied up the deal but blamed each other after it collapsed because the paperwork was not filed until shortly after the deadline.
