Getafe president Ángel Torres has confirmed that talks are ongoing for a potential signing of Sergio Ramos, but he insists that recruiting a centre-back is not an immediate priority for the club. This decision comes in a sporting context where the team sits 15th in La Liga with 8 points, from two wins, two draws and four losses in the first eight games, and finds itself 19 points behind the league leaders.
"His brother, his agent, has been talking to me", Torres explained regarding the 40-year-old defender, who has been a free agent since leaving Monterrey at the end of 2025. "We have six centre-backs, it wasn't a position...", added the Azulón chief, leaving the door open for a possible move in the January transfer window if the opportunity arises.
The current situation of Getafe, who sit 15th in La Liga with 8 points from eight games, could influence market decisions. The team heads into their next match, this Tuesday against Rayo Vallecano at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez, on a run of five games with just one win, specifically one win, two draws and two defeats in their last five outings. Their most recent result was a one-all draw against Universitatea Craiova on Thursday 15 October, with the equalising goal scored by N. Gudelj in the 81st minute. The most pressing need, according to the president, is to strengthen the flanks, not the centre of defence, especially having scored only 4 goals and conceded 10 so far this season.
In that regard, Torres also addressed the ongoing negotiations for Jadon Sancho, which have been dragging on for months. "We are in talks with Sancho, just like we were three or four months ago. Parejo could also be another option.", he stated. The recent signing of Dani Carvajal, a former teammate of Ramos at Real Madrid under contract until 2027, already provided a boost for one of the full-back positions.
Sergio Ramos, a World Cup and Champions League winner, played over 30 matches and scored 8 goals during his stint in Liga MX with Monterrey, although his adventure ended sooner than expected. His potential arrival at Getafe would create a major media splash, but the club prefers to focus first on addressing its more evident shortcomings on the pitch.
A positive result would be key to improving the team's momentum, having managed just one win in their last five outings, a sequence that includes the three-nil defeat to Barcelona on Saturday 10 October and the aforementioned draw against Universitatea Craiova.
