Overview
- Multiple outlets reported on Wednesday and Thursday that Getafe have opened talks to sign 26-year-old Jadon Sancho, who has been a free agent since leaving Manchester United last summer.
- Sources say Sancho is seeking about €4 million a year in wages, a figure Getafe cannot meet under their current salary structure and the main obstacle to any deal.
- Manager José Bordalás is reportedly an admirer and the club is exploring lower-base or short-term contracts with performance bonuses to bridge the financial gap.
- Sancho recently trained with FK Krasnodar but they declined to sign him, and any new arrival at Getafe would be ineligible for the current phase of UEFA competition because registration has closed.
- Sancho’s situation reflects a broader decline in his market value since his big-money move from Dortmund to Manchester United, and a move to Getafe would likely be aimed at rebuilding his form while limiting immediate continental impact.
