Dani Carvajal is close to joining Getafe, according to Getafe president Ángel Torres. In comments reported by Europa Press, Torres said the 34-year-old right-back, a free agent since leaving Real Madrid, has already passed his medical. However, Torres later downplayed the move, saying it was "smoke" and "a joke," while confirming talks with the former Real Madrid player, as reported by El Español.

Maxifoot reports that Carvajal is awaiting the green light from La Liga to finalize the deal. Foot Mercato also states that the Getafe president confirmed the move during an interview. Mundo Deportivo and El Mundo have also covered the negotiations, while Terra notes that Carvajal could soon define his next club.
