Getafe, a surprising standout in the 2025-26 La Liga season, is anticipating significant changes this summer. Reports indicate that head coach Jose Bordalas will be departing, and he is set to be joined by one of his key midfielders.
The club faces financial considerations as Christantus Uche is returning from his loan spell at Crystal Palace, as the Eagles have decided against a permanent transfer for the Nigerian forward. This situation necessitates player sales to compensate for the missed revenue, suggesting a considerably altered first-team squad next season.
One of the players expected to leave Getafe is Mauro Arambarri. According to Diario AS, the 30-year-old midfielder, who has contributed six goals and two assists this season, has reached an agreement with Argentine powerhouse River Plate.
Getafe Demands Fee for Arambarri’s Departure
Mauro Arambarri has been a consistent performer for Getafe since his arrival from Uruguayan club Boston River in 2017, accumulating 263 appearances. After a successful tenure in Madrid, he has opted for a new challenge back in South America.
However, the transfer is not yet finalized, as Getafe insists on receiving a transfer fee for Arambarri, who is still under contract for another two years. Representatives from River Plate are scheduled to visit the Spanish capital next week to negotiate terms with Getafe. The negotiations are complicated by the fact that Getafe only owns 50% of Arambarri’s playing rights, with Boston River holding 30% and the player retaining the remaining 20%. This shared ownership is likely to result in Getafe seeking a higher transfer fee during the upcoming discussions.
