Getafe Wiretap

Reports suggest that the transfer fee was just under $6 million.
Real Madrid will terminate Takefusa Kubo's loan to Villarreal early, and instead loan him out to Getafe for the rest of the season.

La Liga matches can resume behind closed doors starting on June 8th, according to Spain's prime minister Pedro Sanchez.
La Liga president Javier Tebas recently stated that he wants matches to begin around June 12th.
"Spain has done what it should and now new horizons are opening for everyone. The time has come to bring back many day-to-day activities," said Sanchez.
"From 8 June, La Liga will be back. Spanish football has a huge following but it will not be the only recreational activity that will return."
5 players from La Liga's first and second division have tested positive for COVID-19.
"Between the clubs of [the first and second divisions], five positive cases have been detected among players, all of them asymptomatic and in the final stage of the illness," released the league in a statement.
The players, who are in isolation, will be able to rejoin their teammates when they test negative twice over a span of 72 hours.
Barcelona were one of several clubs to resume training on Friday.
The Royal Spanish Football Federation announced a $540 million bailout for clubs in Spain's first and second division to help cover costs during the COVID-19 pandemic.
La Liga suspended their schedule indefinitely due to the severity of the virus in Spain.
"We want to offer La Liga the possibility to sit down and get the financing for first and second division clubs. We have spoken to several banks and are able to offer a credit line worth €500m to first and second division clubs that are struggling and that can be repaid in the next four, five or six years," said Spanish FA president Luis Rubiales.
Rubiales also said that a potential May return for the league is impossible given the current state of the country.
"We think it's practically impossible to resume competitions at the beginning of May. We have temporary hospitals being put up in Madrid and the military emergency units [UME] are out on the streets," said Rubiales.
Getafe are set to exercise their option to purchase Marc Cucurella from Barcelona.
The reported transfer fee is $6.7 million.
The 21-year-old has impressed under Jose Bordalas.
Barcelona maintain a 40% sell-on fee.
La Liga president Javier Tebas said he was confident that league would complete its season.
La Liga matchday was suspended two weeks due to fears surrounding COVID-19.
Tebas said he was fearful of the financial ramifications for a lost season.
"We're working on that other virus which is seeing what happens with our contracts around the world. We have 100 different obligations with 100 operators around the world and, if there's no broadcasting, there's no earning. We're working to see if we can fit in some calendars in order to soften the economic blow that will arrive.
"It's difficult for Europe's big clubs too, not just the small ones. They play in Europe and also earn lots [of money]. If the competitions are suspended, everything is revised and revenues are a lot lower. All the budgets of the teams are going to be comprised if the season doesn't get finished, but I'm convinced that it will get finished," said Tebas.
La Liga suspended its season for the next two matchdays after Real Madrid players went into quarantine.
Real Madrid were quarantined after a basketball player tested positive for coronavirus.
"Given the circumstances that are coming to light this morning, referring to the quarantine established in Real Madrid and the possible cases in players from other clubs, La Liga considers it appropriate to continue to the next phase of the protocol of action against COVID-19. As a result, in accordance with the measures established in Royal Decree 664/1997 of May 12, [La Liga] agrees to postpone at least the next two match days," released the league in a statement.
La Liga matches were previously scheduled to be played behind closed doors.
Europa League matches between Roma and Sevilla, and Inter Milan and Getafe have been posted due to concerns surrounding the coronavirus.
"As a result of the travelling restrictions between Spain and Italy imposed yesterday by the Spanish authorities, the following UEFA Europa League Round of 16 matches [Sevilla-Roma and Inter-Getafe] will not take place as scheduled tomorrow, 12 March 2020," released UEFA in a statement.
Getafe president Angel Torres said that his team would not travel to Italy.
"I don't understand why they would do so. It's a state of emergency, we are doing the right thing. First is health, then sport. I have no interest in the consequences.
"What I'm interested in is not bringing more [coronavirus] cases to Spain, as we have already too many. I will meet with my captains and the coach and I will tell them of my decision, but it's my responsibility and I believe I'm doing the right thing."
