Getafe awaits La Liga's approval for Carvajal in Spain

Getafe has not yet received definitive confirmation that the 34‑year‑old Spanish Dani Carvajal, who left Real Madrid on a free transfer this summer, will sign for the club; La Liga still has to give its approval, according to transfer expert Matteo Moretto, before the agreement can be completed.

Financial Fair Play hinders agreement

Earlier the Spanish media reported that Getafe had reached an agreement with the free‑transfer Carvajal. The 34‑year‑old Spanish left Real Madrid this summer and is still without a club. Moretto describes the deal as “complicated” for Getafe, and links it to the Financial Fair Play rules.

The coming hours are crucial because La Liga's approval is still pending. Getafe is actively seeking a solution while the federation evaluates the club's compliance with the Financial Fair Play rules. Without that green light the transfer cannot be completed. The federation's decision will be announced soon.

Financial problems force Getafe to scrap Carvajal deal

Getafe will meet Ajax on Thursday 17 December in the Conference League. Because Carvajal cannot be registered for the competition phase, he will certainly miss that match. The uncertainty surrounding his arrival adds an extra variable for the Spanish club ahead of the European clash.
