Patrick Bamford Poised for Free Transfer to Getafe, Reports Say

Spain permits out-of-window signings of free agents, aligning with Getafe’s search for a striker.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets citing transfer journalist Matteo Moretto report the 32-year-old is very close to joining Getafe on a free.
  • Reports say the parties aimed to finalise terms this week, with Bamford preparing to fly to Madrid to complete the move.
  • Because he is unattached, Bamford can be registered despite Spain’s transfer window having closed.
  • Getafe seek cover up front after Christantus Uche moved to Crystal Palace and with leading scorer Adrian Liso potentially unavailable, leaving Borja Mayoral as the sole natural No. 9.
  • Bamford departed Leeds this summer after Daniel Farke said he was not in his plans, following a season of fitness issues and no goals in 17 Championship appearances.
