Real Madrid are continuing their summer sale of Castilla talents.
Miguel Gutierrez has just joined Girona, and next out could be Juanmi Latasa, the striker who has had a similarly solid Castilla career and is also looking for a permanent move to spread his wings now he’s 21.
It won’t be an easy operation – Marca describe it as a “very difficult” negotiation for Getafe to pull off. That must surely be in part because of the first team’s lack of options up front – with Borja Mayoral gone, it’s just Mariano Diaz left backing up Karim Benzema.
Girona were able to sign Gutierrez for just €4m by letting Real Madrid retain 50% of his rights, and that might be Getafe’s best chance here too.
Latasa has scored a lot of goals, including 12 in 30 league appearances last season, when he made his solitary first team appearance, in a 1-1 draw with Cadiz back in May.
