Getafe have officially confirmed the signing of Spanish striker Iván Azón, who arrives on loan from Italian club Como to bolster the team's attack. The deal was announced this Tuesday, as reported by Marca newspaper, with the player having already passed his medical and signed his contract.
The club, sitting 14th in La Liga with 3 points from three games, is seeking more depth up front. Having scored just one goal and conceded four, the need for offensive options is evident. Azón landed in Madrid on the day of the announcement and will begin training with the squad this Wednesday, just ahead of the next home match against Celta Vigo, a rival currently in 17th place.
Who is Iván Azón?
Iván Azón is a 22-year-old footballer born in the Aragon region of Spain. He came through the youth ranks at Real Zaragoza, making his first-team debut with the club. His career took a turn when, facilitated by Cesc Fàbregas, he moved to Italy to play in Serie B. Now he returns to Spain to try his luck in the top flight with Getafe, a team in need of sparking its attack.
His addition is a direct move to cover a specific need in the squad. You can check the player's full profile and the rest of the team on our squad page.
Why did Getafe need a striker?
The situation in Getafe's attacking zone was a priority in the transfer market. In the first three matchdays, the starting forwards have carried almost the entire load. "Enes Ünal and Martín Satriano have played practically everything", acknowledged Satriano himself, highlighting the lack of rotation. With Borja Mayoral also in the squad, Azón's arrival provides breathing room and internal competition.
The pre-season already made it clear the club was seeking alternatives in that position. Now, with a demanding schedule ahead, having four solid options for the attack is key. The current squad has a negative goal difference of -3 and trails leaders Barcelona by six points. To follow the evolution of these numbers, visit our stats section.
What is the immediate plan for the new signing?
The plan is clear: quick integration and contribution from the outset. Azón joins training with the idea of being available as soon as possible. His adaptation will be crucial, as the team faces an important phase of the calendar.
The first test will be next Monday, September 7th, when Getafe host Celta Vigo at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez. A direct duel against another team looking to climb away from the lower reaches of the standings. The Azulones manager hopes the new addition can bring freshness and goals to an attack that needs to unlock itself. The Aragonese striker signed his contract with the Madrid club on September 1st, 2026.
