Getafe have made a formal offer to sign former Manchester United attacker Jadon Sancho.

The 26-year-old winger is out of contract after his deal expired in the summer and has been exploring a number of options.

An agreement is said to be complicated but Spanish side Getafe, who are 14th in La Liga and playing in the Europa Conference League this season, are keen to find a resolution.

Sancho, who cost United £73m when he joined from Borussia Dortmund in 2021, is said to favour a move away from England but remains open to all options.

Earlier this week ex-Real Madrid captain Dani Carvajal, who had been without a club since his deal at the Bernabeu expired in June, joined Getafe on a free transfer.

The 34-year-old Spain right-back, who won 27 trophies with Madrid, including six Champions League titles, has signed a contract until June 2027.

Sancho spent last season on loan at Aston Villa, making 39 appearances as Unai Emery’s team achieved Champions League qualification and Europa League success, coming on as a late substitute in the victory over Freiburg, his third European final in three seasons.

He also had loan spells with Dortmund and Chelsea during his five years at United.

His move to Stamford Bridge in the 2024-25 campaign included an obligation to buy. However, Chelsea paid a £5m penalty to send Sancho back to Old Trafford after he made 41 appearances.

Sancho has been posting training videos to his Instagram, external account while he continues his search for a new team, including his visit to non-league side Flixton, who had to clarify that the former England international was not on trail with the North West Counties club.

Real Madrid forward Vinicius Junior has been handed a four-match suspension following his red card against Villarreal, ruling him out of the upcoming El Clasico against Barcelona on October 25, according to report.

The Brazilian was sent off during Saturday’s match after pulling Nathan Saliba’s hair in the build-up to a goal that was subsequently disallowed following a VAR review.

The Spanish Football Federation’s Disciplinary Committee imposed a two-match ban for violent conduct away from the ball, along with an additional two-match suspension for protesting against the referee after his dismissal.

Referee Isidro Diaz de Mera reported that Vinicius approached him with an aggressive attitude following the red card and had to be restrained by his teammates.

Real Madrid appealed the decision, arguing that the contact with Saliba’s hair was accidental and occurred during an active passage of play. The club also maintained that Vinicius’s protests should not constitute a separate disciplinary offence.

However, the committee rejected the appeal, concluding that video evidence supported the referee’s report and that the two incidents warranted separate punishments.

As a result, Vinicius will miss Real Madrid’s upcoming matches against Sevilla, Barcelona, Racing and Valencia. He is not expected to return until after the November international break.

The Brazilian subsequently apologised to his teammates and supporters on social media for leaving his side with ten men.

Barcelona forward, Lamine Yamal, has admitted that Victor Osimhen’s disallowed goal could have made their Champions League clash with Galatasaray more difficult.

Osimhen thought he had made it 2-0 to the Turkish champions in the first half.

However, his powerful header was chalked off following a VAR review.

Barca then fought back and overpowered Galatasaray, scoring four goals to take all three points.

But Yamal has claimed that if Yellow and Red had gone two goals up, their job would have been harder than it became.

“If Galatasaray’s second goal hadn’t been disallowed, our job in Istanbul would have been very tough,” Yamal said per Le Marca Sports.
