Super Eagles prospect denies links with Atlético Madrid transfer

Posted : 24 March 2025

Christantus Uche’s camp has responded to recent rumors linking him with a move to Atletico Madrid, playing down the speculation. The Getafe FC player has been the subject of transfer discussions, especially after a standout season in Spain’s La Liga.

Earlier reports from various media outlets suggested that Uche was nearing an exit from Getafe, with claims that Atletico Madrid had begun negotiations for a potential summer transfer. The 21-year-old has been impressive, contributing three goals and three assists in 27 La Liga appearances, which has caught the attention of several top clubs, including Atletico Madrid and Chelsea.

However, sources close to Uche’s camp have denied these reports, providing clarity on the situation. A representative from his agency, Pintex Sports, who manages the player, confirmed that there has been no official contact with Atletico Madrid regarding a move. They emphasized that while rumors are common for players with Uche’s talent, no talks have taken place.

The representative added that although it's flattering to have Uche linked with prestigious clubs like Atletico Madrid, the focus remains on his current commitment to Getafe. Uche has a contract with the club that runs until 2028, with an additional one-year extension option, reinforcing his long-term commitment to the Spanish team.

The source further stated that the future remains uncertain, but the immediate goal is to finish the current season strong. They reiterated that Uche is focused on his work at Getafe, and any potential move will be considered in the future, but for now, he is dedicated to his current club.

Despite being linked with a possible Super Eagles call-up during Eric Chelle’s tenure as coach, Uche has not yet made his debut for Nigeria’s senior national team. This ongoing interest in Uche suggests that his future in football is bright, and he may soon receive a national team opportunity.

While Uche’s impressive form in La Liga has attracted attention from top clubs, including Atletico Madrid, his camp has made it clear that there are no ongoing discussions about a transfer at this time. Uche remains focused on his career at Getafe, with his long-term future still open to possibilities.
