Javi Galán 's future has taken a 180-degree turn once again. When it seemed that he would stay in Spain , a new destination has now emerged. The left-back from Extremadura could leave Atlético de Madrid in the next few hours to become a new player for Turkish side Galatasaray .
The Extremadura native is not in the plans of the club or Diego Pablo Simeone , the Atlético coach is looking for a more defensive profile for his defence. Javi Galán is a full-back with long careers and much more attacking characteristics, so he does not fit into his system. Differences arose last summer despite having only been with the Madrid team for a few days.
With one foot in Villarreal he opted for Real Sociedad
It was decided that it was best for him to leave, and Villarreal appeared, ready to take him to the Estadio de la Cerámica . However, at the last minute, Real Sociedad came on the scene, a project that attracted the footballer from Badajoz much more. He opted for the San Sebastian team thanks to the pressure from Imanol Alguacil , who contacted him to convince him.
He told him that he was going to be important and that, given the absence of Aihen Muñoz , he was counting on him for that position. Javi Galán had no doubts: he chose to go to Donosti for a few months and now he is returning, since the txuri-urdin team did not exercise the purchase option. The left-back, with a past in Badajoz, Córdoba, Huesca and Celta , has a contract with the club chaired by Enrique Cerezo until 2026.
Getafe complex option for the FPF
Given the difficulties that Getafe are having in securing his registration this season,Javi Galán has already started to look at other options. He was clear that he wanted to stay in Madrid , where he lives, and be close to his family in Extremadura . José Bordalás was interested in his arrival in the south of the capital, but he is not assured of being able to register him for this season.
The footballer had everything prepared and advanced with the blue team, everything ready to go. The problem lies in Getafe 's financial fair play and in the fact that they are not sure if they will be able to sell Borja Mayoral . Until the Parleño leaves, he has little chance of playing at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez .
Sevilla's long-term plan: Galatasaray the quickest route
Sevilla is another team that has knocked on his door, but this route has quickly been ruled out. The Extremadura native's salary does not convince Víctor Orta at all, who has opted for other, more economical options. The Madrid sporting director wanted to sign the Atlético de Madrid full-back, but if the red-and-white club does not lower its expectations, they will not make a move.
His agent then appeared with a proposal from Galatasaray , although it is true that the player is not convinced about going so far away. Although, since it is Turkey , it is a nice experience. They keep his contract and he would play in the Champions League .
That is why everything points towards Istanbul , as revealed by Rubén Uría on his channel and confirmed by Matteo Moretto in RELEVO .
Search for an exit and destination for the club from Madrid
The Ottoman team is negotiating with Atlético de Madrid to avoid paying the entire percentage of his transfer fee; the discussions are going on. Javi Galán is looking for a destination to leave Atlético de Madrid as soon as possible, knowing that he is not in Diego Simeone's plans.
The Atlético coach is prioritising Rodrigo Riquelme, Samuel Lino and Reinildo Mandava , with Ilias Kostis in the mix. It will be very difficult for Javi Galán to end up getting minutes.
