Getafe CF loses Diego Rico, who becomes an attractive piece for several LaLiga clubs. The 33-year-old left-back, from Burgos, ends his stint at Getafe CF and is already on the agenda of several First Division clubs. RCD Espanyol, Deportivo Alavés and Elche CF are in the running to sign the left-back, who offers immediate experience in First Division without the need for adaptation to Spanish football. Getafe CF exercised the option to buy Diego Rico in 2024, who signed until June 30, 2026. However, his cycle at the Coliseum ends without renewal and with several teams attentive to his situation. Diego Rico has experience in LaLiga, has competed in demanding contexts and offers a very recognizable profile: left-back with a good kick, defensive skills and ability to sustain high-intensity games. His age may generate debate, but it also explains the attractiveness of the operation. At 33, he doesn't come as a future bet, but as a present solution. For clubs that need to complete their squad without committing large amounts in transfers, the fit is evident. RCD Espanyol seeks experience to reinforce the left profile, while Deportivo Alavés looks at Diego Rico to elevate competition in Mendizorroza. Elche CF also puts Diego Rico on its agenda, waiting to sign its new coach. The contractual situation makes the Burgos defender an attractive piece: he arrives free, knows the category and doesn't need adaptation to Spanish football. In a market that is increasingly expensive for reliable left-backs, Diego Rico offers something that is highly valued: immediate performance without paying a transfer fee.
