Dani Carvajal, a 34-year-old right-back, is very close to becoming the new signing for Getafe. The player, who has been free since his contract with Real Madrid ended on June 30, has an offer to continue in LaLiga, and Ángel Torres has confirmed that the operation depends on his final approval.

The Azulón president explained on Saturday, October 10, before the match against Barcelona, that the negotiations are practically closed. The official also stated that the financial arrangements with the league are settled, and only some contractual details remain.

The potential signing of Dani Carvajal has experienced several changes in recent days. Initial discussions pointed to an immediate agreement, but the demands of LaLiga's financial control complicated what seemed to be a straightforward incorporation.

The main issue arose from the differences between the salary he was earning at Real Madrid and the conditions of his new contract. According to reports published this week, the regulatory body had to verify that the operation met the established economic criteria for player registrations.

Finally, Ángel Torres personally intervened to unlock the negotiations. The president confirmed that he has provided a personal guarantee to facilitate the player's registration, a measure contemplated in the league's economic regulations. The clause that complicated Carvajal's transfer to Getafe.

The situation changed in the hours leading up to the match against Barcelona, which ended with a 3-0 defeat for the Madrid team. Torres explained that the agreement is practically ready, and he expects to receive the player's final response in the next few days.

The addition of Dani Carvajal would allow the team led by José Bordalás to have an experienced full-back in national and international competitions. The player finished his tenure at Real Madrid after winning 27 titles, including six Champions League trophies.

During the summer, there were also options outside of Spain. Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United States were some of the destinations linked to the defender, although his priority would be to continue competing in Spanish football.

The proximity between Getafe and Leganés, Carvajal's hometown, also favors this possibility. The player could continue to live close to his family without the need to move abroad.

Injuries hindered his final months at Real Madrid

His last year at Real Madrid was affected by managing his minutes after overcoming a knee injury that required surgery. Joining Bordalás' team would allow him to regain competitive continuity.

Also, being without a contract since June 30, the defender can join outside the regular transfer window, provided the registration requirements are met.

The next step will be Dani Carvajal's response, which Ángel Torres hopes to receive during this week. If he accepts the final conditions and the registration is completed, Getafe can announce his signing without paying a transfer fee, concluding negotiations that began in early October.
