José Bordalás, the head coach of Getafe, has stated that he opposes Chrisantus Uche, a Nigerian international, departing.
Bordalas made this statement following Getafe’s 2-1 victory over Sevilla on the road in Monday’s La Liga match.
Uche is still a key component of Bordalás’ ambitions, and he cautioned that letting him go would cause serious issues for the team.
Uche is anticipated to sign a five-year contract with Wolves, and the two teams are almost in agreement on a sum of little less than €20 million.
Even though it looked like he was going to leave, Uche played the entire ninety minutes against Sevilla.
We can only hope he stays. After the match against Sevilla, Bordalas stated, “I’m against him leaving; he’s a very important player, and this gets harder every day.”
“Without understanding our players, we can’t start from scratch every season. We have a major issue if Uche departs. I recognise the circumstances, but we cannot be forced to part with a player of Uche’s calibre.
Ángel Torres, the president of Getafe, acknowledged Uche’s predicament and acknowledged that he had no option but to sell due to financial restrictions.
Uche made 33 appearances in La Liga last season, contributing four goals and six assists.
He will play for the Super Eagles in their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying matches against South Africa and Rwanda next month.
He was a member of the May Unity Cup-winning Super Eagles team.
