Chairman sets minimum £29m price-tag

Chairman Angel Torres has placed a 40million to 50million euros (£29m-£39m) price-tag on Getafe after putting the Primera Liga outfit up for sale. Torres bought Getafe in 2001 when the Madrid-based club were playing in the Secunda Division. Getafe have been operating at a profit for the past five years, but Torres is now keen to look for alternative investment opportunities. "We want to sell because we've been here quite a long time," said Torres. Several UK and Middle Eastern groups are understood to have already shown interest and London-based investment bank Seymour Pierce are looking for a buyer.
