Getafe make formal offer to free agent Jadon Sancho
Getafe have made a formal offer to sign free agent Jadon Sancho, but a deal is complicated as the winger weighs his options.
Getafe have made a formal offer to sign attacker Jadon Sancho, who is without a club after his contract at Manchester United expired in the summer. The 26-year-old winger has been exploring multiple possibilities, and while an agreement is described as complicated, the Spanish side are eager to find a solution.
Sancho, who joined United from Borussia Dortmund in 2021 for £73m, is believed to prefer a move away from England but remains open to all opportunities. He spent last season on loan at Aston Villa, where he made 39 appearances as the club secured Champions League qualification and won the Europa League, featuring as a late substitute in the final against Freiburg.
During his five years at United, Sancho also had loan spells with Dortmund and Chelsea. His 2024-25 loan to Stamford Bridge included an obligation to buy, but Chelsea instead paid a £5m penalty to return him to Old Trafford after 41 appearances.
Getafe, currently 14th in La Liga and competing in the Europa Conference League, recently signed former Real Madrid captain Dani Carvajal on a free transfer. The 34-year-old right-back, who won 27 trophies with Madrid including six Champions League titles, has committed to a contract until June 2027.
Sancho has been posting training videos on Instagram as he seeks a new team, including a visit to non-league side Flixton, who clarified that the former England international was not on trial with the North West Counties club. Supporters have reacted with a mix of excitement and scepticism to the potential signing, with some questioning whether Getafe can meet his wage demands and others hopeful that the move could revive his career.
The situation remains unresolved, with Sancho weighing his next step and Getafe awaiting a response to their offer.
