DBasia.news – Ahead of the winter transfer window, January 2020, Barcelona is rumored to be lending Carles Alena to Getafe.
The player whose contracts expire in 2022 will be loaned to Getafe for six months, whether it’s a permanent option or not. Alena has long been in demand for Getafe, especially when the situation has not been good for him in Barcelona.
Alena only played once in LaLiga with a record time of 45 minutes. In addition to being injured, Ernesto Valverde also chose other players to play in midfield. No doubt Getafe has offered a way out to give him playing time.
Getafe’s interest was recognized by Angel Torres, President of Getafe, to Onda Cero’s El Larguero. Getafe was close to recruiting him two years ago, but Barca kept him from leqaving as Rafinha was injured.
“If we defeat Krasnodar on 12 (December 2019), we can bring in more for the team. We want to recruit Alena two years ago, but when we want to complete the transfer, Rafinha was injured and this means, Barca registered Alena in the first team squad and he will not come, “said Torres.
Barca have agreed to lend Alena for good in its development. However, Torres gave the fate of the future to the player concerned.
“This is not the first time we have discussed players. If this depends on Barcelona, he will join us, but now it depends on the player to decide and we have not talked to him,” concluded Torres.
Not only Alena, Getafe also wants to borrow Brahim Diaz from Real Madrid. Just like Alena, Brahim was also rarely played this season.
“We have asked Real Madrid about it last summer, but the player (Brahim) did not want to come. Now it is increasingly challenging to get into the team in Madrid and he has some problems with injuries,” explained Torres.
