Dani Carvajal is set to join Getafe after the veteran right-back and the club reached a total agreement on a contract, according to a report by the daily newspaper ABC. The transfer remains contingent on final clearance from LaLiga under the competition’s strict economic control rules.
President Ángel Torres Confirms Medical and Contract Terms
Getafe president Ángel Torres confirmed the deal to DAZN reporters outside the club’s offices. Torres stated that the player has already completed his medical examinations and that terms between the two parties are settled. Torres added that the club is simply waiting for financial sign-off from the league’s governing body. The Getafe president joked about the addition when speaking to broadcasters, noting that his coaching staff had requested a wide midfielder and he hoped a seasoned full-back would suffice.
Carvajal Accepts Wage Reduction to Stay in Home City
Carvajal enters the agreement following a thirteen-year stint with Real Madrid’s first team, during which his salary reached significant levels. To facilitate the move to Getafe, the defender agreed to a notable wage reduction. Following his departure from Real Madrid, the Leganés native weighed his career options without rushing before choosing to remain in his home city. Sources close to the player noted that family comfort ultimately outweighed more lucrative offers from abroad.
Trophy History and European Commitments with Getafe
During his final season as club captain at Real Madrid, Carvajal departed with 27 total titles. That haul includes six UEFA Champions League trophies, placing him alongside Luka Modric, Toni Kroos, Nacho Fernández, and Paco Gento as the most decorated players in European club history. By signing with Getafe, the 34-year-old defender will continue playing in continental competition. Getafe is competing in the UEFA Conference League this season, providing the veteran fullback with a new European challenge.
Tactical Fit Under José Bordalás
Getafe manager José Bordalás played a central role in convincing Carvajal to accept the project. Bordalás gains an experienced defender known for tactical discipline and collective sacrifice, traits that align closely with the manager’s tactical system. If health permits, Carvajal is expected to slot directly into the starting lineup as Getafe looks to bolster its squad for domestic and European fixtures.
