Getafe’s Winter Market Strategy: Key Moves and Player Updates

Getafe, under the leadership of Toni Muñoz, is already preparing for the winter transfer market, where several key operations are anticipated. The club from southern Madrid is looking to secure a central defender, a move they nearly finalized on the last day of the previous market with Georgian player Sazonov. Unfortunately, complications in documentation from the player’s original club prevented the transfer from being completed.

The likely departure of Abdel Abqar due to the Africa Cup of Nations necessitates that Getafe explore the market for a defender capable of playing on the left side. This addition would help cover for the injury of Davinchi and provide competition for Diego Rico in that position.

In terms of offensive strategy, despite Borja Mayoral’s impressive form, Getafe is also planning to strengthen its attack. The goal is to provide rest and support for both Mayoral and Adrián Liso, who operates in the same forward area. An ambitious target for the club is the return of Uche, who is currently not a regular at Crystal Palace. However, his loan until the end of the season, for which the club invested around five million euros, complicates this possibility.

Additionally, Getafe is closely monitoring the progress of Enes Ünal, who recently made his return to the pitch after several months out due to a serious injury while playing for Bournemouth. Depending on his performance and fitness, the club may consider a loan for Ünal under the guidance of coach Bordalás. Besides the Nigerian and Turkish players, another name that has emerged in discussions is Gonzalo, a striker from Real Madrid who has not been receiving the expected playing time following a strong showing in the Club World Cup.
