Carvajal nearing stunning return with Getafe

Dani Carvajal is edging closer to an unexpected comeback in Spanish football, with ABC reporting that Getafe have opened negotiations to sign the veteran full‑back. Carvajal, a free agent after leaving Real Madrid in the summer, has held encouraging initial discussions, though the two sides have yet to agree on personal terms.

Coach José Bordalás is keen to add the experienced defender, but concerns over Carvajal’s physical condition remain significant following the severe knee injury that derailed his form two years ago. Financial considerations also complicate talks, although Getafe’s increased wage limit could help bridge the gap. Should the deal be completed, Carvajal would join a squad focused primarily on La Liga survival despite competing in the Conference League. The move would mark a dramatic shift from his decorated decade at Real Madrid, where he won four league titles, six Champions League trophies and a host of additional honours.
