La Liga
The name of Luis Milla has burst onto the European market with force. The Madrid midfielder, one of the strongest pillars of Getafe under José Bordalás, is currently experiencing a peak in his football career that has not gone unnoticed. His performance has sparked the interest of Aston Villa under Unai Emery and of Atlético de Madrid under Diego Simeone, two projects with very different objectives but with a clear coincidence: both are searching for a playmaker for their midfield.
Luis Milla, the heart of Getafe
Since his arrival at Getafe in the summer of 2022, Luis Milla has become an indispensable player. His vision of the game, precision in passing, and tactical intelligence have granted him a fundamental role within Bordalás' scheme. In just three seasons, the Madrid native has surpassed a hundred matches wearing the blue shirt and has established himself as the team's barometer, setting the tempo and rhythm of each game.
Getafe, which has improved its style this season, has found in Milla the perfect balance between intensity and judgment. Not only does he retrieve balls, but he also builds up from the back, leading the offensive transition and offering a silent leadership highly valued by his teammates.
Aston Villa’s Interest and the Premier League Dream
Aston Villa has been monitoring Luis Milla for months. Unai Emery, familiar with Spanish talent, believes that the Getafe midfielder would fit perfectly into his plan to strengthen the core of the English team. In the Premier League, where the pace and physical demands are high, Milla’s profile—with experience, reliability, and character—is a perfect match.
The Birmingham team is looking for a player who brings control, distribution, and balance, and the Madrid-born player meets all those requirements. The Villa's board sees in him a real opportunity to enhance the midfield, especially if they manage to maintain their current status as a competitive team in Europe.
Atlético Also Enters the Scene
At the same time, Atlético de Madrid has shown a growing interest in the player. Diego Simeone needs to reinforce his midfield with a player who combines sacrifice, quality, and tactical order, and Luis Milla fits like a glove. The Argentine coach values his discipline and ability to read games, two essential qualities in the red and white style.
However, Getafe will not make his departure easy. The Madrid club has set the player's value at 30 million euros, a figure that reflects both his sporting importance and the club's intention not to easily part with their most valuable asset. His contract, valid until 2027, gives the club a strong position in any negotiation.

What Luis Milla Brings to Any Team
-
Tactical balance: his game reading allows him to support the team both defensively and offensively.
-
Leadership ability: without the captain's armband, he has become the voice of calmness at Getafe.
-
LaLiga experience: after stints at Tenerife, Granada, and Getafe, he knows the competition in detail.
-
Versatility: he can adapt to different systems, whether as a lone pivot or paired with another midfielder.
An Undecided Future
The upcoming transfer market promises to be turbulent for the Madrid midfielder. If Aston Villa decides to make an offer close to 30 million, the move to the Premier League could become a reality. However, the possibility of joining Atlético Madrid and continuing to shine in LaLiga is equally appealing.
Regardless, Getafe faces a dilemma: keeping their midfield leader or accepting an offer that could strengthen their finances. What is certain is that, no matter his destination, Luis Milla has proven to be one of the most consistent and complete Spanish players of the moment. His future is open, and his name is increasingly present on the agendas of the top European clubs.
