Getafe CF's sporting director, Toni Muñoz, confirmed another departure from the club on Tuesday and left the door open for signings in the free agent market. In a press conference covered by El Desmarque, Muñoz detailed the team's situation after the transfer window closed.
Toni Muñoz announced that an agreement for midfielder Yvan Neyou to join Greek side Volos is practically done. The executive explained the deal was closed the previous night and only awaits final confirmation from both clubs. This operation adds to other exits managed by the club in recent days, a process Muñoz admitted he would have preferred to complete in June for more working margin. The sporting director stated that players who needed to leave have already departed, forced by market dynamics.
The name of midfielder Obed Vargas, from Seattle Sounders, had been strongly linked in recent hours. However, Toni Muñoz was clear in ruling out his signing. The director noted a player can only join if they are a free agent and the club has the necessary economic disposition, conditions not met in Vargas's case. Muñoz refused to speak about players who do not belong to Getafe but made clear the club made every possible effort to sign its targets.
Toni Muñoz gave an honest assessment of the summer window. He acknowledged that with two or three more players, the squad would be more balanced, especially on the wings, a position where the team lacks options. He praised the work of president Ángel Torres, attributing to him an extraordinary effort. "Ángel Torres makes magic from time to time, he is a magician and well, the man does everything possible," said Muñoz. The executive highlighted that the club signed players deemed convenient, opportune, and financially possible, following daily connection between the coach, presidency, and sporting direction.
Getafe's main attacking reinforcement in this market has been striker Iván Azón. Muñoz revealed the player was already a target last season and that coach Luis Milla spoke highly of the Azulón project to convince him. Azón arrives with enthusiasm and knows some of his teammates from previous contact. The sporting director believes the forward can bring many things to the team and give the manager exactly what he needs up front.
With the market closed, focus returns to the pitch. Getafe must correct their negative goal difference. The next opportunity comes this Saturday, September 7th, in a key home match against Celta Vigo. A win would be vital to straighten their trajectory. The coaching staff trusts the group, reinforced with Azón and the possibility of a free agent, will respond.
