Getafe Push to Sign Dani Carvajal as David Soria Backs Deal

Getafe are working to complete the free-transfer signing of Dani Carvajal, with goalkeeper David Soria confident the former Spain right-back will join José Bordalás’ squad once La Liga approves the financial terms.

What changed for the club

Carvajal has been without a club since his Real Madrid contract ended on June 30. The 34-year-old has already completed medical examinations ahead of a proposed move to Getafe, but the deal cannot be confirmed until the club’s salary offer is cleared under La Liga’s economic-control rules.

Soria has made clear that the squad would welcome the six-time Champions League winner. Speaking about the possible arrival, the Getafe goalkeeper said he expects the transfer to be completed.

“I think it will happen,” Soria said. “We would be delighted. Bringing in Carvajal, with his experience, his quality and everything he can offer, would be a ten-out-of-ten signing.”

The goalkeeper also acknowledged that the final stages depend on the club’s ability to construct an acceptable package. “We will see whether the president can find a solution and whether we can reach an agreement,” he added.

Competition context

Getafe need La Liga’s Validation Body to determine whether the proposed wages meet market-value requirements and the division’s spending-limit framework. Until that process is completed, Carvajal’s return to club football remains on hold.

The potential signing would add major experience to Bordalás’ defensive options at a time when Getafe are preparing for a demanding programme across domestic football and European competition.

• Carvajal is a free agent after leaving Real Madrid on June 30.
• The 34-year-old right-back has won the Champions League six times.
• Medical checks have been completed, with financial approval still required.

What is scheduled next

Getafe’s immediate task is to finalise a wage structure that satisfies La Liga’s controls. If approval is granted, Carvajal could be registered and begin integrating with Bordalás’ group before the club’s upcoming run of domestic and European fixtures.

Soria and the rest of the squad are awaiting a quick resolution, with the goalkeeper repeating his belief that the agreement will ultimately be completed.
