Dani Carvajal's return on the brink of collapse

Dani Carvajal's anticipated move to Getafe is on the verge of collapsing. "Everything has fallen through," confirmed the Madrid club's president, Ángel Torres, speaking to Cadena SER.

The 34-year-old Real Madrid legend has not played since the end of last season, when he left the Bernabéu following the expiry of his contract. While available to join Getafe as a free agent, complications have reportedly halted the deal.

Earlier, Torres sounded cautious when asked about signing the defender: "There is no news, nothing at all. There is no agreement. Every party has to give the green light – Getafe, the player, La Liga..."

Getafe secured an unexpected seventh-place finish in La Liga last season, earning qualification for the UEFA Conference League. Next up, they prepare to take on Barcelona this weekend.
