Ángel Torres has confirmed that Getafe are in contact with Sergio Ramos's camp. He said his agent, who is also his brother, has already spoken to him, and the club president also made clear that any move is still conditional rather than finished business.

Getafe's stance on Ramos

Torres said Ramos is 40 years old, and Getafe already have six centre-backs. He added that the coach wanted wingers, not another central defender, and described Ramos as one of the club's possible future signings rather than an urgent target.

Getafe's league position helps explain the caution. They are 14th in La Liga with 9 points from 9 matches, and their recent league form reads DLWLD. That is not a team in a position to ignore squad balance, especially with Real Madrid in the background of any Ramos story and Monterrey part of his recent career path.

January remains the likeliest window

Torres was even clearer on timing in separate comments to A Bola, saying that for Ramos to arrive, a centre-back would have to leave and it would already have to be in January. That is the part of the story worth keeping an eye on, because Getafe also face three matches in eight days, against FC Lugano on 22 October, Athletic Club on 25 October and Lebrijana on 29 October.

Ramos has also not looked like a player short of minutes when he has played. He has five starts of 90, 90, 90, 90 and 90 minutes, so this is not a fitness question as much as a squad-planning one. Getafe have said enough to show the conversation is real, but the move still depends on a vacancy and the winter window.
