So Getafe finally locked down David Soria with a new contract until 2030 . This is huge news for club,honestly. He has been such a rock for them for so long .
The official announcement came on June 2,2026,confirming a new four-year deal that keeps him there until June 2030 . That's a very long commitment in football today.
And you can see why they wanted to keep him so badly . He joined from Sevilla back in 2018 and has played 301 matches for them over eight seasons . Plus that streak of 189 consecutive first-team matches in La Liga is just insane.
In the official statement,Getafe praised him for his performance,leadership,and unwavering commitment to team . You can tell he is not just a player but real leader in that dressing room.
And last season only,under coach Jose Bordalas,Getafe's defense was so solid . They conceded just 38 goals,a record beaten only by giants like FC Barcelona and Real Madrid . This performance helped them finish seventh and qualify for next season's Conference League.
And tbh,that defensive record is where you see Soria's real value.
Few things standing out here:
- Soria's renewal is a big boost for Getafe's future ambitions .
- Last season,their defense was among the best in La Liga.
- But at same time,futures of teammates like Luis Milla and Mauro Arambarri are uncertain .
It's been quite journey for him ah . Born in Madrid,he started in Real Madrid's youth setup,had trials at English clubs,and then came back to Spain to make his debut for Sevilla's first team in 2014-15 . He really found his home at Getafe after moving in July 2018.
So with Soria staying,Getafe has a strong foundation for the next La Liga campaign and their European run . His experience will be needed for sure.
But with key players like Luis Milla and Mauro Arambarri possibly leaving,you have to wonder if keeping just one top-level keeper is enough to build on last season's success . It feels like one big piece is in place,but what about the rest of the puzzle…
