The blue club cannot register the full-back due to exceeding the squad cost limit. The only way is for the president to guarantee the salary amount set by LaLiga.
The Getafe has only one way to register Dani Carvajal in LaLiga, despite the fact that the full-back would arrive as a free agent and only a salary needs to be set in the squad. That route depends on the club's president, Ángel Torres, guaranteeing the amount of that salary, according to Mundo Deportivo. The obstacle is that the blue club has exceeded the squad cost limit and cannot register the player without that guarantee.
The rule that allows this is the article 92 of the Budget Preparation and Clubs, which contemplates the option to increase registration capacity by anticipating income or benefits. The measure is temporary and obliges the club to restore the previous situation during the same season. To apply it, guarantees must be provided through a cash deposit or a bank guarantee, supplied by the shareholder or a third party not related to the club, never by the club itself.
There is the option to increase registration capacity by anticipating the achievement of income or benefits. It is a measure that has a strictly temporary nature, with the club committing to restore the previous situation during the same season. To do this, guarantees must be provided through a cash deposit or bank guarantee, which must be supplied by the shareholder or a third party not related to the club, but never by the club itself.
The amount that Ángel Torres would have to guarantee will depend on the highest figure set, whether it is determined by the club itself or established by the LaLiga Valuation Body. According to the regulations of the association, it is not sufficient for the player to have a minimum salary or one below that required in the agreement between the association and the union. This body, made up of three independent experts, is responsible for setting the minimum salary of a player considering criteria such as acquisition cost, the value of their buyout clause, available remuneration elements, the player's age, market situation, or the duration of the contract.
It is usual for the salary determined by this body to be the one that the Getafe president has to guarantee. It is difficult to think that the amount anticipated by the blue club is higher, especially when they know they have exceeded the squad cost. It will be the LaLiga validation body that establishes the final value, and when this is official, everything will be in the hands of Ángel Torres. If he guarantees it, the former Madrid player will be able to be registered in LaLiga.
What he will not be able to do is play in Europe in the Conference League in this first phase. The deadline to register players ended on September 2 at 23:59 hours. It would not be until the new deadline that UEFA will open from January 2, 2027 that he could be registered, if by then Getafe continues after completing the group stage. This would allow him to be in the playoff eliminations in February or directly in the round of 16 on March 11 and 18.
