Getafe are considering a bold move for free-agent winger Jadon Sancho as they look to strengthen their attack despite severe financial constraints. The 26-year-old Englishman is available without a transfer fee after his Manchester United contract expired, but his wage demands of around four to five million euros per year present a major obstacle for the Madrid club.

The interest was highlighted as a financial challenge. This summer a LaLiga team asked about him and they were talking about a salary of 4 or 5 million. That is unviable for Getafe. Manager José Bordalás is an admirer of Sancho's dribbling and one-on-one skills.

To try and create salary space, the club is exploring the option of placing Juanmi Jiménez on long-term medical leave as he recovers from a knee injury. This measure might not be enough to accommodate the England international's salary. Club president Ángel Torres remains active in the market. In football, what is white in the morning can be black at night. I am always restless, as I get bored here…, he remarked, hinting that the pursuit of free agents will continue.

A potential move for Sancho is part of a reinforcement strategy that has already brought in Dani Carvajal and is also looking at Dani Parejo. This push comes as Getafe sit 14th in LaLiga with 8 points from 8 games and seek to improve an attack that has scored only 4 goals this season. The team's next fixture is at home against 13th-placed Rayo Vallecano. Preparations for their Conference League phase debut against Universitatea Craiova also factor into the club's planning.

Getafe confirmed its interest in Jadon Sancho. The Madrid club is looking for a way to structure a viable operation, according to the club itself. Manager José Bordalás admires his technical qualities. However, the club stated that the salary requested by the player, close to four million euros, is considered "impossible to assume" with its current limitations. Negotiations continue as the team, which drew 1-1 with Universitatea Craiova on October 15th, seeks solutions.
