Dani Carvajal’s transfer to Getafe seems to have suddenly collapsed. Questioned this Wednesday by El ChiringuitoÁngel Torres categorically denied the arrival of the former Real Madrid full-back. “ At the moment we don’t know anything “, first replied the president of the Azulones, before being asked again about the state of the negotiations: ” there is nothing. » Asked whether the agreement had finally been broken, the leader confirmed: “ everything is broken. » A spectacular turnaround when Carvajal, free since his departure from Real Madrid last June, still seemed very close to signing up with Getafe.

The day before, Ángel Torres gave a completely different speech at the microphone of DAZN. The president assured that the 34-year-old defender had already passed his medical examination and was due to join the club in the afternoon. “ All that remains is for La Liga and I to reach an agreement “, he explained then. Carvajal had also made significant financial efforts to facilitate the operation, his arrival nevertheless had to respect the constraints of Spanish financial fair play. José Bordalás had pushed to recruit the former Madrilenian in order to strengthen his defensive options, but the operation is now, according to Torres’ statements, completely at a standstill.
