Deportivo Alavés has officially completed the permanent signing of Carles Aleñá following his release from Getafe CF, marking a strategic reinforcement in their midfield ahead of the 2025-2026 La Liga season.
From Loan to Long-Term Commitment
After an impactful loan spell in the latter half of the 2024-2025 campaign, Carles Aleñá’s return to Deportivo Alavés is now permanent. The 27-year-old Catalan midfielder terminated his contract with Getafe, allowing him to join Alavés on a free transfer and sign a four-year deal running through June 2029.[1][5]
During his loan, Aleñá played a pivotal role under coach Chacho Coudet, logging 1096 minutes over 14 La Liga matches.

This move addresses the club’s urgent need to solidify their midfield core with proven La Liga talent, reinforcing their ambitions to remain competitive in Spain’s top flight.[1][3]
This acquisition was facilitated by Aleñá’s agent, Iván de la Peña, who successfully negotiated the contract termination with Getafe. The Madrid-based club had exhibited openness to the departure, as the midfielder was not a guaranteed starter and his contract was nearing expiration.[1][5]
