Dani Carvajal Getafe Transfer Collapses After President Denies Deal
Dani Carvajal’s anticipated transfer to Getafe collapsed completely on October 7, 2026, when club president Ángel Torres flatly denied that the former Real Madrid defender is joining the Azulones.
Ángel Torres Denies Ongoing Negotiations With Dani Carvajal
The abrupt U-turn arrived during an appearance on El Chiringuito, where Torres addressed the state of the negotiations surrounding the 34-year-old free agent. Asked directly about the status of the deal, Torres stated plainly that everything is broken off. For the moment, we don’t know anything,
Torres said, before adding that there is nothing.
When pressed on whether the agreement had officially ruptured, the club president confirmed, everything is broken.
The total breakdown contrasts sharply with statements Torres made just one day prior on DAZN. On October 6, the Getafe president asserted that the veteran right-back had already completed his medical examination and was slated to join the squad that same afternoon. At the time, Torres indicated that the final hurdle was simply reaching an accord with La Liga.
Financial Regulations Block Carvajal Move to Getafe
Carvajal has been a free agent since parting ways with Real Madrid in June 2026. While the player reportedly consented to significant financial concessions to facilitate the move to Getafe, the transaction ultimately ran aground amid strict Spanish financial fair play regulations. Manager José Bordalás had actively pushed for the acquisition to shore up the club’s defensive options, leaving the roster without the veteran reinforcement as the season continues.
