Getafe’s Attempted Signing of Jean Ives Valou Falls Through

Getafe was on the verge of finalizing the signing of Ivorian central defender Jean Ives Valou. The Villarreal B team player had already bid farewell to his teammates in the submarine’s locker room, but ultimately, his transfer has been put on hold.

Despite everything being agreed upon, last-minute details between Getafe and Villarreal have hindered his arrival, even though many speculate that financial fair play regulations are at play. However, sources from MARCA indicate that the complications in the negotiations do not stem from this issue, as the player could indeed be registered without posing any problems for the club from the southern part of the Community of Madrid.

Nonetheless, Toni Muñoz continues to work on player exits. With two weeks remaining in the transfer window, the Córdoba native is actively seeking new opportunities for players who have not been getting minutes. This could create the necessary financial leeway to not only accommodate Ives Valou but also to register others like Chimy Ávila or Dani Rodríguez, who are currently awaiting their fate.

Yvan Neyou appears to be one of the primary candidates for departure, as his salary constitutes a significant portion of the wage bill. Given his limited playing time, he would likely welcome a move away from Getafe.
