With the last details still to be worked out, such as the condition under which he will be leaving, Javi Galán has left Atlético de Madrid to sign for Getafe . José Bordalás ' team needs players; the effort he made to draw with 15 of the first team in Bilbao was praiseworthy. But reality shows that he has to sign more than one player, although it is not easy.
It is not because the blues have a very compromised financial fair play, exceeding the limits of the salary limit. That is why players like Borja Mayoral or Gastón Álvarez must leave, who will soon travel to Saudi Arabia , according to Marcos Durán in RELEVO . The Uruguayan, who is another of the names that have been considered in the Metropolitano , will go to play for Michel's team,Al-Qadisiyah .
Bordalás bets on Javi Galan
Getafe urgently needs departures; they cannot register their new signings, and even the coach has to make up inventions. The latest, placing Chrisantus Uche as a striker when he arrived as a midfielder. Bordalás ' move paid off; he scored a goal against Athletic in San Mamés , and the team from the south of Madrid snatched a draw from the Bilbao home ground.
Sources close to the player confirm that he has already formalised his contract with the blue team and that he will play on loan at the Coliseum this year. In Getafe he will have the opportunity to play the minutes that Diego Pablo Simeone does not give him at the Colchonero team.
José Bordalás urgently needs a left-back with the profile and experience in La Liga of the Extremaduran. Reinildo Mandava will have less competition, Javi Galán will play for Getafe, sources close to the player confirmed to EstoesAtleti.
The Badajoz native landed at Atlético de Madrid last summer, coming from Real Club Celta de Vigo , for 7 million euros, plus the transfer of Manu Sánchez . He made the opposite journey, from Civitas Metropolitano to Balaídos , with a previous stint at CA Osasuna . Manu Sánchez has not established himself either and has left this summer for Deportivo Alavés.
Only nine official appearances as a colchonero
Javi Galán wore the Atlético de Madrid shirt on nine occasions, playing as a starter against Celtic and Lugo . In the rest of the games he was a substitute and came on to get minutes, which made him realise that he had to leave the team. In December, when Villarreal arrived, he agreed to leave, but at the last minute he decided to go on loan to Real Sociedad .

In San Sebastian he played 18 games with one assist in total; he earned a place for Imanol Alguacil, but they decided not to let him continue. Real Madrid gave him the cold shoulder in negotiations with Atletico Madrid for Robin Le Normand. Now he has the opportunity to start a new stage alongside Jose Bordalás at Getafe , a team that already bid for him.
He arrives at the Coliseum in response to the needs of Ángel Torres
The blue team tried to sign him when he first arrived at Atlético de Madrid and it was already clear that he was not going to continue. Diego Pablo Simeone gave him six more months, but he was not long in leaving the team. The Alicante native is crying out for reinforcements and, with the arrival of Javi Galán , who presumably will not go to the Coliseum alone, he is already starting to have them.
