Getafe is nearing the completion of the signing of Belgian midfielder Orel Mangala. The player would arrive from Olympique de Lyon on loan. Last season, Orel Mangala played twelve matches, starting in five of them, and has previously played for clubs including Nottingham Forest, Everton, and Stuttgart.

Mangala is expected to join a squad that includes Martín Satriano, with whom he played at Lyon last season. His arrival would reinforce the midfield following the departures of Luis Milla and Mauro Arambarri, and amid possible exits of other players in that position.
