Career
Early career
Navarro was born in Barcelona, Catalonia, but moved to Pamplona, Navarre at an early age. He started playing football with local side CA Osasuna before joining FC Barcelona at age 11, living with his maternal grandparents.[2]
Monaco
On 3 July 2018, Navarro signed with AS Monaco FC.[3] He made his senior debut for the club in a 1–0 Coupe de France win over Canet Roussillon FC on 6 January 2019, and at 16 years and 8 months was their youngest ever senior debutant.[4]
Real Sociedad
On 2 September 2019, Navarro signed a professional contract with Real Sociedad for three years,[5] being initially assigned to the reserves in Segunda División B. He made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 16 December 2020, replacing Ander Guevara in a 1–2 away loss against FC Barcelona.
Ahead of the 2021–22 season, Real Sociedad director of football Roberto Olabe announced that Navarro and Sanse teammate Jon Pacheco were promoted to the main squad.[6] In January 2022, Navarro was demoted back to the B-team, due to the arrival of Rafinha for six-month loan duties at the first team. He scored his first professional goal on 9 April, netting the B's equalizer in a 2–1 home loss to CD Tenerife.
On 7 August 2022, Navarro returned to the first team, being assigned the number 17 jersey.[7] He was the club's top scorer in the 2022–23 Copa del Rey with four goals.
Loan to Cádiz
On 1 September 2023, Navarro moved to fellow top tier side Cádiz CF on loan for the 2023–24 season.[8] He scored his first goal in the top tier the following 29 March, netting the winner in a 1–0 home success over Granada CF.
Loan to Mallorca
On 29 August 2024, Navarro agreed to a one-year loan deal with RCD Mallorca also in the first division.[9]
Personal life
Navarro's father Roberto was also a professional footballer. A defender, he notably represented third tier sides CA Osasuna B, UE Sant Andreu and CE L'Hospitalet.[10][11]
