Getafe president confirms negotiations to sign Jadon Sancho

Getafe president Angel Torres has revealed ambitious transfer plans, confirming the club is in active negotiations to sign English winger Jadon Sancho. Speaking ahead of his team's Conference League match, the president highlighted that negotiations for the former Borussia Dortmund star are at a critical stage.

Alongside the pursuit of Sancho, Getafe are working to bring Villarreal playmaker Dani Parejo back to the Spanish capital. Torres indicated that the club expects to finalize the status of these negotiations by next week.

We are in talks with Sancho, just as we were three or four months ago. Parejo could also be another option. We should be able to confirm whether or not we finalize these negotiations next week. Angel Torres

The primary challenge remains the economic gap between the club's budget and the players' salary expectations. Sancho is reportedly seeking a wage that would represent a significant investment for Getafe. To bypass potential issues with La Liga's strict economic controls, the club is exploring creative financial mechanisms, including personal guarantees from the president, similar to those used in the past for other high-profile acquisitions.

For Sancho, a move to Getafe under coach Jose Bordalas would offer a chance to rehabilitate his career. After a period of inconsistency and a recent search for a new club as a free agent, the 26-year-old is looking for a role where he can be the focal point of the attack.
