MADRID, Aug. 4 (Xinhua) -- Georgia international center-back Saba Sazonov has joined Getafe for the 2026-27 season, the Madrid-based club confirmed on Tuesday.
The 24-year-old arrives on a free transfer and has signed a contract through June 2027, with the option of an additional year, according to Getafe's official website.
Sazonov began his career with Zenit St. Petersburg and has also played for Dynamo Moscow and Italian side Torino, for which he made 13 first-team appearances. However, a knee ligament injury halted his progress, leaving him with just two minutes of first-team football over the past two years.
Spanish sports daily Marca reported that he had been close to joining Getafe last season, only for a last-minute paperwork error to derail the deal. ■
