Dani Carvajal nears free transfer move to Getafe

Former Real Madrid captain Dani Carvajal is close to signing with Getafe on a free transfer, as both parties have entered negotiations over the 34-year-old right-back’s move to the Spanish club.

Negotiations are progressing well, according to Spanish reports cited by AS newspaper, but the deal remains contingent on Carvajal passing a medical. Getafe wants to assess the condition of his right knee before finalizing the contract.

Carvajal suffered a right knee injury two years ago and experienced a setback with the same knee last season, making the medical examination a crucial step for Getafe before completing the transfer.

The Spanish defender has been a free agent since leaving Real Madrid at the end of last season, allowing him to join Getafe without a transfer fee if he passes the medical and reaches a final agreement.

Carvajal’s move to Getafe would offer him a return to European competition, as the team, managed by José Bordalás, is set to compete in the UEFA Europa Conference League this season.
