Roma midfielder Villar on the verge of joining Getafe

Gonzalo Villar’s adventure with Roma has almost come to an end with a move to Getafe on the horizon.

The 23-year-old Spanish midfielder has not played a single minute in Serie A this season after failing to convince coach Jose Mourinho of his qualities and so he’s finally ready to leave the Italian capital.

As reported by Gianluca Di Marzio, the talks between Roma and Getafe are nearing completion and Villar’s move to the Spanish club is only a step away from completion now. Things could be fully tied up later this week.

The Spaniard has made six appearances this season in the UEFA Conference League, for a total of 204 minutes. He featured heavily for Mourinho’s predecessor Paulo Fonseca but did not convince the former Porto and Chelsea man this campaign.

The Giallorossi have already lined up at replacement, with Porto’s Sergio Oliveira to undergo medicals with the club tomorrow before signing on a six-month loan deal.
