Getafe has launched negotiations to sign English winger JadonSancho, who is free of contract after leaving Manchester United. Coach JoséBordalás, who has demanded reinforcements since the beginning of the market, has indicated that Sancho is the club's absolute priority, since it needs a player with dribbling and the ability to unbalance one-on-one.
Sancho's signing is not a surprise, as the 26-year-old has expressed interest in a new team following his departure from United. The Madrid club has already started talks with the player and his representative, according to Spanish and English sources. The main obstacle to closing the deal is the high salary that Sancho demands, which raises doubts about the financial viability of the operation. In addition, compliance with the club's Financial Fair Play criteria and the possible long-term absence of Juanmi, who is recovering from an injury to the patellar tendon in his knee, are factors that Getafe must consider.
Sancho is considered one of the most promising talents in world football. His career includes an outstanding period at BorussiaDortmund, where he became one of the most valuable players in the Bundesliga, and a transfer to Manchester United for 85 million euros. However, his time at the English club was not consolidated, which led to several loans to clubs such as Chelsea and AstonVilla. On his return to Germany he shone again, and his time at StamfordBridge was brief but memorable.
Bordalás, who has shown a clear preference for players with dribbling skills and speed, sees Sancho as the missing piece to reinforce Getafe's right wing. The coach has emphasized that the incorporation of a player of that caliber would not only improve the team's performance, but would also provide an offensive dimension that the club needs to compete in the First Division. The negotiation process is in a critical phase, as the club must balance the player's salary demand with budgetary limitations and Financial Fair Play rules.
If the deal goes through, Sancho would join Getafe in the 2026-27 season, bringing his international experience and ability to score and assist goals. The club hopes that the arrival of the English winger will boost the campaign and allow it to compete for European qualification positions. The next few days will be decisive to confirm if Getafe manages to close the transfer and if Sancho accepts the Madrid club's proposal.
