Getafe has officially announced its first signing for the 2025-2026 season. It is the Cameroonian midfielder Yvan Neyou, 28 years old, who joins the blue team for the next three seasons after becoming a free agent. The player, who shone last season at Leganés, arrives at Coliseum with the mission of strengthening the midfield, one of José Bordalás' main priorities for the new season.
While the club has other advanced moves in progress, Neyou is the first to be publicly announced. His addition comes as a relief for the coach from Alicante, who has seen key players like Ramón Terrats and Yellu leave in recent weeks. The Cameroonian, a full international with his national team, will bring strength, off-the-ball work, and physical prowess, qualities highly valued in the blue team's tactical setup.
They Beat Valencia to the Signing
Getafe's sports management acted swiftly, preempting other clubs interested in the player, including Valencia, who also considered his signing seriously. Ultimately, the midfielder has chosen the Madrid-based project, convinced by the sporting proposal and the role Bordalás has in store for him.
With this move, Getafe sends a message of ambition and begins to assemble a squad that aims to remain competitive in La Liga. Neyou arrives with experience, hunger, and the trust of the coaching staff.
