Spanish football club Getafe CF has officially welcomed four new signings who were previously on loan: Uruguayan forwards Martín Satriano and Sebastián Boselli, Argentine defender Zaid Romero, and Spanish midfielder Mario Martín.

We are going to try to do what we did last year, go step by step. If we work as we have, we are going to achieve great things.

— Martín SatrianoThe Uruguayan forward expressed optimism about the team's prospects for the new season.

The players, who all featured for Getafe under manager José Bordalás last season, have now been permanently contracted for the upcoming campaign. Satriano, Boselli, and Romero were initially on loan from clubs like Club Brugge, River Plate, and Olympique de Lyon, respectively. Mario Martín joined from Real Madrid's youth academy.

I always wanted to play in a European competition. Hopefully, we get as far as possible. Dreaming of reaching a final or something like that. I would love it.

— Sebastián BoselliThe defender shared his ambition for the team in the Conference League.

While acknowledging the departures of key players like Luis Milla (now at Como) and Mauro Arambarri (signed by River Plate), Satriano expressed confidence in the team's ability to achieve success. "We are going to try to do what we did last year, go step by step. If we work as we have, we are going to achieve great things," said the Uruguayan striker, who scored six goals in 18 appearances last season.

I feel totally capable of taking on that responsibility. I am eager to face it.

— Mario MartínThe midfielder stated his readiness to fill the void left by departed key players.

Boselli, a defender, set an ambitious goal of reaching the Conference League final, expressing his desire to play in European competition. Midfielder Mario Martín feels prepared to step into the roles previously held by Milla and Arambarri, stating his eagerness to take on the responsibility. Romero, also a defender, noted the strong sense of unity at Getafe between fans, players, and staff, comparing it favorably to his experience at Argentinian club Estudiantes de La Plata.

It is a very special place for us and I think it resembles it a lot and is very similar here in many aspects.

— Zaid RomeroThe defender drew parallels between Getafe and his former club, Estudiantes de La Plata.
