Getafe is in advanced talks to secure the signing of midfielder Renato Sanches, 29 years old, after being released from PSG. A surprising move in Getafe's transfer market, taking advantage of the list of free agents.

As revealed by journalist Sébastien Denis on September 11, the Portuguese international prefers the proposal from the blue-and-white team over financially superior offers from MLS, Saudi Arabia, and Brazil, being able to sign outside the regular market as a free agent.

Renato Sanches's Fit in José Bordalás's Short Squad

The potential arrival of the 29-year-old midfielder meets the demands set by José Bordalás to expand the rotation of a small squad at the beginning of the season. The Madrid team currently holds the 15th position in LaLiga EA Sports in the early stages of the 2026-2027 season, prompting the board to seek experienced options without transfer fees.

The Portuguese player will bring physicality and driving ability to the midfield, sharing the locker room with former acquaintances from the French league like Orel Mangala and Martín Satriano. His signing depends solely on the club having the required wage margin under the league's financial constraints for registration.

Stint at Panathinaikos after Parting Ways with PSG

The midfielder terminated his final contract year with PSG after not fitting into the Parisian entity's plans, concluding a period marked by successive loans since his signing in 2022. During the 2025-2026 season, he competed on loan at Greece's Panathinaikos, making 24 official appearances and gaining competitive continuity after overcoming recurring physical issues.

An absolute international with Portugal on 32 occasions and Euro 2016 champion 2016, he has had professional stints at clubs like Benfica, Bayern Munich, Swansea, Lille, PSG, and AS Roma. Despite prior interest from teams like Chelsea or LOSC Lille, the guarantee of playing time in Spain influenced the player's decision towards the Coliseum.

The Getafe board will subject the player to thorough medical examinations in the coming hours to assess his physical condition before finalizing the contract. Getafe aims to resolve the financial control procedures during the third week of September 2026 to formalize Renato Sanches's arrival promptly and place him under Bordalás's command.
