Sporting director Toni Muñoz has confirmed Christantus Uche will return to the club in the summer, Completesports.com reports.
Uche joined Crystal Palace on loan last summer, in a deal that included performance-based clauses which could have triggered a permanent transfer fee.
However, those conditions were not met, meaning Getafe will not receive the expected payment.

“It is taken for granted because Uche did not meet the required target of appearances, and it is clear that he is returning,” Muñoz was quoted by DAZN.
“The summer is going to be very long.”
The midfielder has made 14 league appearances for the Eagles with no goal, or an assist to his name.
He has also featured in three matches in the UEFA Europa Conference League.

Great news. Uche needs to play regularly. He is a key cog in Chelle’s diamond 4-4-2 formation. He can function as a support striker or a centre attacking midfielder.
I have high hopes for him. I have high expectations of him. I have great belief in him. Hopefully he see regular football next season.
Top talent. I wonder what went wrong at Crystal palace . I don’t see anyone more talented than him at palace so I m really worried why he failed to make it there.
I’ve said it many times before, the moment they start referring to you as a utility player, just know the casket of your footballing career is already being constructed.
This guy’s is not a striker. He is naturally a midfielder….a grafting box to box midfielder. His build and skillset says it all. He started his career as one.
But for some weird reason, he has allowed himself to be “boxed” into the penalty box as a striker and now everyone expects the output of a natural striker from him.
Shall we just observe a minute silence for another budding career about to be interred.
The terrible thing about being an utility player is that you will never be seen to be better than a natural in that position. You will also not be allowed to function consistently in your natural position, cos you will continue to be makeshifted around the pitch to cover for a natural who isn’t available. Effectively, the 7000 hrs rule may never apply to you and your career. Hence you’ld find it difficult amassing as many hours in one position to make you an expert
That will end up being the only comparative advantage you have over your competitor and effectively relegate you to being on the subs bench as a spare tyre.
These days, chrisantus is being designated as a centre forward (very laughable), but with the goals return of a centre back. Who on earth wants a centre forward whose highest number of goals scored in all competitions in a season is less than the number of fingers on 1 hand.
