In a surprise move, Damián Suárez has decided to end his eight-and-a-half-year tenure at Getafe. The news reported by SER and confirmed by Relevo shows that the Uruguayan full-back has terminated his contract with the Madrid team, which represents a significant loss for coach Bordalás. This strategic move comes just two days after the closure of the transfer market in Spain.
According to information from this medium, the most likely destination for Suárez seems to be Botafogo in Brazil. Despite receiving offers from other clubs, the 35-year-old full-back appears to be heading for a new challenge in the Rio de Janeiro team. The departure from Getafe marks the first step into this new phase, with Botafogo having shown interest in joining him in recent days.
Suárez goes to Brazil
Suárez, whose contract with Getafe was due to expire in the summer, tried to extend his stay with the team but negotiations did not materialize. Since it was impossible to reach an agreement, the player decided to terminate his contract so that he could accept one of the offers in front of him.
Losing Suárez doesn’t just affect Getafe in terms of depth at the right-back position. The Uruguayan was a pillar of the Bordalás philosophy and a leader in the team who stood out for his strong competitive nature. His departure means Getafe will have to play the rest of the season with Juan Iglesias as their only available right-back, a situation that is causing concern among the coaching staff.
His last appearance for Getafe was in the recent game against Real Madrid, and although Bordalás planned to count on him in the next game against Betis, Suárez’s departure leaves the coach with the difficult task of reorganizing the defense given the immediate future.
