La Liga
Ecuadorian center-back Félix Torres has become a desired target in Spain, sparking a real tug-of-war between Getafe CF and CA Osasuna for the upcoming winter transfer market. At 28 years old, the Sport Club Corinthians Paulista defender emerges as an enticing piece to strengthen the backline of two clubs aiming to elevate their quality in LaLiga.
Félix Torres is going through a transitional phase: despite arriving in Brazil with high expectations, his role at Corinthians has diminished this season, with his contract extending until December 2027, making it easy for clubs like Getafe and Osasuna to closely monitor his situation. His salary and estimated cost keep alive the possibility of a move.
Getafe eyes Félix Torres as a strategic reinforcement
Getafe has entered the market aiming to add experienced defenders from South America, and Félix Torres fits that profile. The Madrid-based club is assessing his performance, reviewing his statistics (27 matches, one goal, five yellow cards, and two red cards this season), and considering how his arrival could bring strength to the defense against direct rivals.
The Ecuadorian's market value is estimated between 5.8 and 8.1 million dollars, a figure that Getafe deems feasible for January 2026. The club believes that signing Torres would be a step forward in their goal to establish themselves in LaLiga, by adding a defender who has played abroad and understands the demands of competitive environments.

Osasuna in the battle for Félix Torres and defensive reinforcement
Meanwhile, Osasuna is also closely tracking Félix Torres. The Navarre-based club prioritizes reinforcing the physical presence in their defense and sees the Ecuadorian as an option that could adapt to the style of play demanded by their coach. Osasuna is aware that the player is in a relatively comfortable contractual situation for negotiations, potentially easing his arrival.
The window opening on January 2, 2026, allows Osasuna to submit a competitive offer and compete against Getafe. In the meantime, the defender's camp has noticed monitoring activities from Spain, prompting Osasuna to intensify their interest to avoid falling behind in this race.
Scenario and decisive factors for his departure
Félix Torres' situation involves several key factors: his reduced prominence at Corinthians, the Brazilian club's need to free up wages due to registration sanctions for debts, and a contract expiring in 2027. All of this makes the operation a realistic option for both Spanish clubs.
Getafe and Osasuna need to act swiftly to prevent other teams from joining the bidding war. Torres' international experience with the Ecuadorian national team adds appeal to his profile, and his transfer in January could be a smart move for clubs looking to reinforce without substantial expenses.
The outcome will depend on time, the negotiation capabilities of the clubs, and the player's willingness to face a new challenge in Europe. Both Getafe and Osasuna have solid arguments to convince Torres that his LaLiga journey could be the ideal next step.
Félix Torres emerges as the protagonist of a football battle between two teams striving to make strides in LaLiga. The rivalry between Getafe and Osasuna for his signing sets the tone for a winter market full of excitement, with the Ecuadorian's decision potentially reshaping the defensive future of both clubs.
