Official! Midfielder who made 43 appearances for Sporting joins Madrid | OneFootball

Nemanja Gudelj, a former Sporting player, is preparing to begin a new chapter in his career at the age of 34, after bringing to an end a seven-season spell with Sevilla. The Serbian international leaves behind a long stint with the Andalusian club, where he became one of the foreign players with the most appearances in the club’s history.

The midfielder has now joined Getafe for the 2026/27 season, in what will be a new experience in Spanish football. Gudelj arrives at the Madrid-based side after his contract expired, bringing to a close a spell marked by several moments of success.

While at Sevilla, the former Sporting player made 261 appearances, a figure that makes him the fifth foreign player with the most matches in the history of the Andalusian club. During that period, he also had the chance to lift major trophies, most notably the two Europa League titles won in 2019/20 and 2022/23.

His time at Sevilla - Kochorashvili’s new club - was therefore one of the most significant stages of his career. The midfielder arrived in Spanish football in 2019 and remained at the club until the end of his contract, gaining experience, titles and an important role in the squad.

Before moving to Spain, Gudelj had already built a diverse international career. In addition to his home country, the Serbian played in China and the Netherlands before arriving in Portugal. In the 2018/19 season, he represented Sporting on loan, in a spell at Alvalade that came before his permanent move to Spain.
