PARIS Saint-Germain goalkeeper Keylor Navas has welcomed 30 Ukrainian refugees into his Paris-based mansion amid Russia’s ongoing invasion of the country.
The 35-year-old and his wife, Andrea Salas, have bought 30 beds and placed the refugees in his home theatre.
His wife is also helping prepare food and the couple have provided clothes for their guests, according to Sport.
The Spanish outlet reported that Navas discovered that ‘the association of gypsies from Gracia, Barcelona’ had travelled to Krakow to bring food and take in refugees and offered to help, welcoming 30 into his home.
Andrea also took to social media to appeal to people to offer their help to Ukrainians who have been affected by the conflict in their homeland.
In a post on her Instagram account, she shared a plea from the Tiempos de Esperanza foundation calling for donations of supplies and clothes.
