Former Leeds United striker Patrick Bamford is closing in on sorting out his post-Elland Road future, and is on the cusp of finalising his free transfer move to a new club.
The 32-year-old striker left Leeds under acrimonious circumstances towards the end of the transfer window. He was isolated from the first-team squad and made to train with the Under-21s as Daniel Farke had decided very early in the summer that Bamford would not be part of his plans.
However, it took almost the entire summer to sort out his future as Leeds didn’t receive any notable offers for him in the transfer window. The club ultimately decided to pay off his contract and let him leave the club as a free agent.
Bamford was not happy with the way he was pushed out of Leeds, but the striker is now on the verge of finalising his new club in La Liga in the coming days.

The 32-year-old striker’s agents and the Spanish club are finalising the details of the agreement today, and the transfer is on the verge of getting the final green light.
According to journalist Matteo Moretto, Bamford is ready to fly out to Spain as soon as he gets the final word from his agents and Getafe.

He is keen on the move, and the transfer is now dependent on his representatives and Getafe ironing out the final details of the agreement today.
The former Leeds striker is keen to get started as soon as possible and is itching to move to Spain to start a new chapter of his career.
He spent seven years at Leeds and was part of two promotion-winning teams at Elland Road, apart from having a brilliant season in the Premier League, which earned him a solitary England cap.
