That is according to The Athletic, who say that Getafe President and owner Angel Torres was not being entirely honest earlier this month, when he declared that the club was not up for sale, and that his exit was ‘a long way off’. Los Azulones have long been talked about as a potential change of ownership, with links to FSG the most recent.
FSG have reportedly built up a good relationship with Torres during talks, and having previously set an asking price of €185m, he would now be willing to do business around €116m. That said, Torres is keen to complete the renovation work at the Coliseum, which is due to be completed in 2028, with the training ground receiving a makeover and the stadium roof being extended all the way around the ground.
While Getafe are at times referred to as the ugly sibling of Madrid’s more glamorous clubs, players moving there benefit from good training facilities, and the club can attract players to live in the Spanish capital. Los Azulones have become a fixture in La Liga, with several forays into Europe, offering stability too, despite lacking significant investment.
