Riyad Mahrez on Getafe's radar in the winter transfer market

Algerian star Riyad Mahrez is on the radar of Spanish club Getafe, which is considering signing several players available in the transfer market ahead of the upcoming winter transfer window, according to Spanish newspaper AS.

The newspaper reported that Getafe are considering several prominent names as they search for signings that can add value to the team during the second half of the season, including alongside Mahrez, the Frenchman Karim Benzema, the Englishman Jadon Sancho, and the Spaniard Danny Carvajal.

Despite Riyad Mahrez's name being on the list of players the Spanish club is considering, AS reported that there are currently no official negotiations between the two parties, noting that the matter is currently limited to reviewing available names before any decisions are made regarding a move for one of them.

Financial factors represent one of the most prominent elements that could affect Riyad Mahrez's potential transfer to Getafe, given his high salary, alongside Karim Benzema. This could pose a challenge for the Spanish club if they decide to turn their interest in the Algerian star into official negotiations.

Consequently, Riyad Mahrez remains a potential option for Getafe this winter, awaiting whether the club will decide to move from the stage of studying names to taking actual steps regarding the deal.
