Kasparov and Topalov are the Kings of Najdorf. See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sicilian_Defence,_Najdorf_Variation

Vachier ofcourse!!

I've heard from a video that MVL is the best player to play the Najdorf today. Any games you can recommend?

Stockfish games, he is rated 3500+ in TCEC and CCCC.

Stockfish games are not instructive. Yes, Stockfish is extreme good, but the ideas are hard to understand. I recommend you to read books or watch games with text of the plans and idea's from a strong player.

MVL, Nepo, Kasparov, Fischer, Anand, Giri, So. Those are the guys that come to mind of the top of my head.
