Getafe solidified their goalkeeping position by signing David Soria to a fresh four-year deal, extending his tenure at the club until mid-2030. The veteran keeper, aged 33, has been a mainstay for the Madrid-based team since his arrival in 2018 from Sevilla.
Soria’s impact at Getafe stretches beyond his shot-stopping abilities. Having made over 300 appearances, including a continuous streak of 189 La Liga matches, he has become a pillar of leadership and consistency on the pitch. In the previous season, his contributions helped Getafe concede just 38 goals, a tally surpassed only by the league giants Barcelona and Real Madrid. This defensive solidity played a significant role in Getafe's impressive finish in La Liga, enabling them to qualify for the upcoming Conference League.
The club praised Soria for his dedication and professionalism, highlighting how his extension bodes well for both the present and future of Getafe. While the goalkeeper's contract is now secured, the coaching staff and other key players face uncertainty. Manager Jose Bordalas remains in contract negotiations, and vital midfielders Luis Milla and Mauro Arambarri are reportedly poised to depart, with Arambarri linked to River Plate and Milla to Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia.
Before establishing himself at Getafe, Soria’s journey included challenging trials across England, from Leicester City to Birmingham and Stoke, all hindered by injuries, salary caps, or discouragement. He began his youth career at Real Madrid but found his professional breakthrough after joining Sevilla’s setup in 2013, where he eventually made his senior debut.
His move to Getafe in 2018 marked the start of a rewarding chapter where he has consistently performed at a high level, becoming integral to the club’s defensive resilience. This contract renewal confirms Getafe’s intention to maintain stability in a crucial position as they prepare for the challenges ahead.
