Overview
- Spanish outlet Marca reported that talks with president Ángel Torres have ended, with UK coverage echoing the withdrawal after months of discussions.
- La Liga’s salary-limit system, which ties spending to club revenue, was cited as the key obstacle to the short-term investment FSG sought.
- Getafe’s older squad profile was viewed as misaligned with FSG’s aim to develop younger players for resale value or progression toward Liverpool.
- FSG completed due diligence on Getafe in September before deciding not to proceed with a deal reportedly discussed in the €115–130m range against a valuation near £160m.
- The decision fits FSG’s selective multi-club approach under Michael Edwards, following assessed-but-abandoned moves for Bordeaux and Málaga, with other Spanish clubs previously named as potential options.
