Former Real Madrid captain Dani Carvajal is nearing a move to Getafe as a free agent, with talks advancing despite salary-cap obstacles.
- Carvajal became a free agent after leaving Real Madrid at the end of the previous season.
- Getafe coach José Bordalás personally contacted the 34-year-old to convince him to join the club.
- Getafe must resolve a salary-cap constraint with La Liga before it can register Carvajal.
- A medical examination would prove decisive to the deal given Carvajal's recent injury problems.
- Getafe president Angel Torres confirmed Carvajal passed his medical, leaving only final administrative details between the club and La Liga to complete the move.
- Carvajal has been without a club since his last match for Real Madrid on May 23, ending a 23-season spell with 27 titles won.
