He doesn't even know what he wants — Club president frustrated with Super Eagles star wanted by Chelsea, Atletico Madrid

Getafe president Ángel Torres has expressed clear frustration with in-demand Nigerian midfielder Christantus Uche, whose indecision has clouded his transfer future despite growing interest from some of Europe’s top clubs.

The 22-year-old has emerged as one of La Liga’s most exciting midfield prospects after an eye-catching 2024/25 campaign and a breakout performance for Nigeria in the Unity Cup final against Jamaica.

Following months of impressive displays under José Bordalás, Uche has caught the attention of heavyweights such as Chelsea, Atletico Madrid, Newcastle, and even newly promoted Sunderland.

However, Getafe president Ángel Torres seemed frustrated when speaking about the young star’s wavering stance.

“Uche doesn't even know what he wants; it all depends on how he gets up,” a visibly exasperated Torres said as quoted by Cuerta TV.

“He's clear that he wants to go to the Premier League,” Torres continued, adding, “He has offers from Italy, but I don't know why, he wants to go to the Premier League.”

Uche’s stock has risen sharply, with his valuation rising up to 30 times what Getafe paid to sign him from AD Cueta. But with the player yet to commit to a preferred destination, Getafe remain in the dark on how to proceed.

Despite Torres’ suggestion that Uche favours England over other offers, the player himself has yet to publicly confirm his intentions.

His agent has maintained a cautious stance, stating they’re evaluating all options. Meanwhile, Getafe are keen to capitalise on the midfielder’s rising value before the season begins.

For now, all eyes remain on whether Uche finally picks a direction, or continues to stall while elite clubs wait in line.
