Spanish football club Getafe has announced the return of Turkish striker Enes Ünal, signing him on a contract that will keep him at the club until June 2029. Ünal is a familiar face at Getafe, having previously worn the club's colors for three and a half seasons.

During his prior stint with the Madrid-based team, Ünal proved to be a prolific goalscorer, netting a total of 36 goals in La Liga. He initially joined Getafe from Villarreal and, despite a loan spell at Valladolid, established himself as a key offensive player for the club between 2020 and early 2024. His goal tally places him sixth among Getafe's all-time La Liga scorers.

Welcome back home, little Turk!

Ünal's return is seen as a significant boost for Getafe, particularly as the team manages the long-term injury of offensive midfielder Christantus Uche. Uche suffered a severe knee injury during a preseason friendly. Ünal's experience and proven goal-scoring ability are expected to fill the void left by Uche's absence and strengthen Getafe's attacking options for the upcoming seasons.

The attacker played 109 official matches with the blue shirt and scored 36 goals, becoming one of the great offensive references in the club's recent history.
