Rafael Navarro
26-Year-Old
Colorado Rapids
MLS
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Colorado officially acquired Navarro from Palmeiras after he joined the Rapids on a loan-to-buy option for 2023. This past season, Navarro signed a long-term deal through 2027 with a team option for 2028. While Navarro had a great season contributing 15 goals, he went cold down the stretch, scoring in just one of the last eight matches. This was a vast improvement from his 10-match sample size in 2023, with only one goal. Navarro should be in line for a similar scoring output in his second full season in MLS, with 20-goal upside.
Quiet outing Saturday
Navarro recorded two shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Real Salt Lake.
ANALYSIS
Navarro had one attempt stopped by the goalkeeper in the second half, yet it was an overall disappointing performance for him in the defeat. His production of two goals over his last six MLS appearances reflects a dip from his blazing start to the season, though that remains enough for him to stay atop Colorado's scoring chart. Regular minutes in a No. 9 position could eventually allow him to make the most of the limited opportunities his side generates.
