Carvajal’s Getafe Move Awaits LaLiga Registration Approval

Published 7 October 2026

Dani Carvajal is close to joining Getafe as a free agent, but the proposed move is not official because LaLiga has yet to approve his registration under the club’s financial limits. Reports say the former Real Madrid defender has completed medical tests and reached an agreement with Getafe, though accounts differ on whether that agreement is verbal or finalised. Getafe must demonstrate that it has room within LaLiga’s financial rules to register the 34-year-old. Until the league makes a decision, the medical and reported agreement do not complete the transfer. The reports do not say whether approval will be granted or give a firm deadline for a decision. Getafe president Ángel Torres was reported as confirming that Carvajal had undergone medical tests and that an agreement with the club had been finalised. Other reports, citing transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano, described the arrangement as a verbal agreement and said registration approval remained pending. The precise status of the agreement is therefore unclear, while the outstanding league approval is consistently identified as the condition for the move to become official.
