Overview
- Getafe president Ángel Torres said on Wednesday that the proposed signing of Dani Carvajal had fallen through and that there was nothing to announce.
- Spanish reports say LaLiga's financial controllers blocked the registration because the club declared an unusually low annual salary for Carvajal, which regulators viewed as risking undisclosed side‑payments.
- Before the collapse, several outlets reported that Carvajal had passed a medical and reached a verbal agreement with Getafe after coach José Bordalás personally outlined the role on offer.
- The 34‑year‑old remains a free agent after leaving Real Madrid this summer and carries recent injury concerns, including a prior ACL rupture that reduced his playing time.
- Getafe can still try to restructure the deal to meet LaLiga's Squad Cost Limit rules but any solution must show realistic wages on club accounts before the league will approve a registration.
