Luis Javier Navea Tolmos "El Cachudo" (born 11 May 2003) is a Peruvian footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder.

Club career

Alianza Lima

Navea started at Alianza Lima as an 11-year-old in 2015. Six years later, in March 2021, he officially became part of the first-team squad.[2] Navea got his official debut for the club on 29 October 2025, in a Peruvian Primera División game against Cienciano, where Navea was in the starting line-up.[3]

Navea did not get any further first-team appearances until July 2022, which is why he was loaned out to the Brazilian club Grêmio Novorizontino for the rest of the year.[4] He only played for the club's U20/reserve team, however, where he greatly impressed, according to several media outlets.[5] He did, however, return to Alianza after the end of the year.[6]

In July 2023, he was then loaned out to Peruvian Primera División side Unión Comercio until the end of the year.[7] At the end of February, the loan spell was extended until the end of 2024.[8]

In March 2025, Navea was once again loaned out, this time to Alianza Atlético for the rest of 2025.[9]

Vendsyssel FF

On 15 August 2025, it was confirmed that Navea had joined Danish 2nd Division side Vendsyssel FF on a deal until June 2027.[10] He left the club again in January 2026 after getting his contract terminated by mutual consent.[11]
