Real kid joins Getafe

Real Madrid have confirmed that Pablo Sarabia has crossed town to join Getafe. The 19-year-old attacking midfielder has signed a five-year contract with Getafe for a reported fee of 3million euros. However, Real have confirmed the deal includes a buy-back option for the Spanish Under-19 international. Sarabia made his first-team debut against Auxerre in the UEFA Champions League in December but has found his progress blocked at the Bernabeu. But Sarabia has gone on to impress in Real's reserves and in March Arsenal were reported to be interested in securing his services. Getafe will be eager to improve on coming 16th in last season's La Liga, when the Madrid-based outfit finished just a point above the drop zone.
