Veteran defender Domingos Duarte has joined Getafe following Granada’s La Liga relegation.
Duarte joined Granada ahead of the 2019/20 season following a nomadic few years in the Portuguese lower leagues and a loan spell at Deportivo la Coruna.
The 27-year-old centre back has established himself as a solid operator in the Spanish top flight but he was always likely to leave following Granada’s drop down into the second tier.

He joins Getafe on a four year deal in the Spanish capital, as part of a €1m transfer, with former club Sporting Lisbon receiving 25% of the fee, as per an agreement with Granada.
Duarte will add yet more experience to Quique Sanchez Flores‘ back line with reports linking Dakonam Djene with a potential exit this month.
The Togolese international is into the final year of his contract at the Estadio Coliseum Alfonso Perez with Turkish champions Trabzonspor tracking him as a potential option.
