Christantus Uche is caught in uncertainty. Targeted by clubs in Italy and England, he has yet to decide on a destination. President Ángel Torres says the Nigerian midfielder is hesitant about his future, though he's leaning toward a move to the Premier League.

Getafe witnessed the emergence of Christantus Uche as a breakout star during the 2024-2025 season. Scoring 4 goals and providing 7 assists in 38 matches, he's attracted interest from English sides like Everton, Newcastle, and Aston Villa, as well as several Italian clubs. Yet, the player remains vague about his future. The Nigerian only aspires to play in the Premier League, but his uncertainty has started to frustrate the club president. Ángel Torres did not mince his words.

"Uche doesn't even know what he wants, it all depends on how he feels when he wakes up. Tomorrow [today], if he comes in, we'll talk to him. It's clear he wants to go to the Premier League. He has offers from Italy, but for some reason, he wants to go to the Premier League. He'll tell us," declared the Spanish club's president in remarks revealed by Ceuta TV.

In the coming weeks, the club and the player will need to clarify their positions in order to resolve this situation and prepare for the 2025-2026 season under the best possible conditions.
