Enes Ünal, a 28-year-old forward, will be a new player for Getafe after reaching a total agreement to return to the Coliseum in this summer transfer window. The striker will leave Bournemouth in a deal that could be closed for a very reduced amount thanks to the outstanding debt between both clubs resulting from his previous transfer. 

The return of the Turkish international marks a shift in negotiations that in recent weeks seemed to be heading towards Sevilla. However, the player's desire to go back to the club where he gave his best performance has turned out to be decisive in redirecting the operation towards southern Madrid. 

Enes Ünal prioritized Getafe despite Sevilla’s interest

Throughout much of the summer, Sevillaworked to bring in Enes Ünal as a reinforcement for their attack. Discussions were advanced, but the involvement of Getafe completely changed the scenario.

Ünal, who wore the blue and white shirt between 2020 and 2024, chose to return to José Bordalás' team as a priority. During his previous spell, he played 109 official matches and scored 36 goals, making him one of the offensive references of the club. 

His performance in LaLiga also explains that decision. Before moving to the Premier League, he completed two consecutive seasons with 15 and 16 goals, numbers that contrast with his time at Bournemouth, where injuries significantly impacted his continuity and prominence. 

Injuries defined his period at Bournemouth

Enes Ünal's transfer to Bournemouth became permanent in 2024 after an initial loan spell. However, the forward never managed to establish continuity due to two serious knee injuries suffered between 2023 and 2025, in addition to other physical problems that limited his participation. 

In England, he accumulated around 1,000 minutes and scored 5 goals, figures far from those he achieved with Getafe before leaving LaLiga. This lack of consistency facilitated the English club's willingness to negotiate his departure this summer. 

Another key factor has been the financial aspect. Bournemouth still has financial commitments stemming from the striker's purchase, a circumstance that allows structuring a favorable operation for both entities and reducing the cost of bringing back the attacker. 

Enes Ünal's return forces Getafe to reorganize their attack

The addition of Enes Ünal would leave Getafe with up to five forwards in the first team, alongside Borja Mayoral, Martín Satriano, Christantus Uche, and Juanmi. This accumulation of forwards will require the Madrid-based club to consider at least one departure before the transfer window closes. 

The next step involves completing the documentation and officially announcing the transfer. Unless there is a last-minute change, Enes Ünal will don the Getafe shirt again, while Bournemouth will finalize an operation that will also allow them to settle the outstanding debt between both clubs.
