Getafe are expected to have a busy winter transfer window as they look to improve Jose Bordalas' squad after a disappointing start to the season. However, they could instead part ways with star defender Omar Alderete, who is starting to attract serious interest.
Tottenham Hotspur were recently linked with Alderete, and now his agent Renato Bittar has stated (via Diario AS) that the Paraguayan international will leave Getafe this year.
“There are four clubs in England who want him. It's time to take the plunge. If not now, he will leave Getafe in the summer.”
Getafe would much prefer to retain Alderete's services, although they will be aware that it is extremely difficult to stop Premier League clubs from taking their players. The good thing is that they can demand €16 million to strike a deal, as this is the value of the 27-year-old's release clause.
