"Leeds United bid farewell to long-serving striker Patrick Bamford during the summer transfer window, parting company with the experienced forward deemed surplus to requirements by first-team boss Daniel Farke. Bamford, 32, is now on the cusp of completing a transfer to LaLiga side Getafe, according to reports in Spain. The Madrid-based club are believed to have offered the striker a contract which is ready to be signed upon the completion of a medical."
"Bamford spent seven years at Leeds, scoring 60 goals in just over 200 appearances. The striker's importance waned during the latter period of his Elland Road stay, featuring 18 times during last season's Championship title-winning season for the Whites. He failed to hit the back of the net throughout 2024/25. However, Bamford is fondly remembered in West Yorkshire for his role in two promotions to the Premier League, as well as his 17-goal top flight campaign in 2020/21 under Marcelo Bielsa."
Patrick Bamford departed Leeds United after being deemed surplus by manager Daniel Farke and is close to joining LaLiga side Getafe, with a contract awaiting a medical. The Madrid-based club have offered a deal and expect the forward to join Jose Bordalas' squad, who currently sit eighth in LaLiga. Bamford scored 60 goals in just over 200 appearances across seven years at Leeds but went goalless in 2024/25 and featured 18 times during the Championship title-winning season. He played key roles in two promotions and a 17-goal 2020/21 top-flight campaign. Competition for places at Getafe includes Borja Mayoral and Adrian Liso, and match sharpness may take time after extended absence.
