CD Leganés have stepped up efforts to bring Yvan Neyou back to the club on loan as they search for solutions to their struggles in Spain’s second division.
The Cameroonian midfielder left Leganés at the end of last season after his contract expired and secured a move to La Liga side Getafe.
The transfer promised top-flight continuity, but the 29-year-old has struggled to earn regular minutes in Madrid.
Limited opportunities have now opened the door to a possible temporary exit, with Leganés emerging as a serious contender.
Leganés know Neyou well. During his previous spell at the club, he played a key role in their promotion campaign to La Liga two seasons ago.
His familiarity with the squad, the environment, and the club’s demands makes him an attractive option as Leganés fight to stabilise their season and avoid deeper trouble in the league table.
Club officials view a loan deal as a practical solution for both sides. Leganés would gain an experienced midfielder capable of organising play and adding leadership, while Neyou would regain valuable playing time.
Sources close to the situation suggest that Leganés have already expressed clear interest, although negotiations remain ongoing.
Football analyst Germain Tiko Messina addressed Neyou’s situation and underlined the importance of regular football at this stage of the midfielder’s career.
A return to a familiar setting, he noted, could help Neyou restore rhythm and confidence after a quiet first half of the season at Getafe.
Competition, however, complicates the picture. Neyou continues to attract attention from other clubs, with Real Oviedo and Levante reportedly monitoring his availability.
Both sides see him as a reliable midfield option who brings experience from both La Liga and European football.
Former Cameroon goalkeeper Carlos Kameni also weighed in on the debate, describing Getafe as a “good choice” in principle for Neyou.
Kameni acknowledged, however, that any move only delivers value if it comes with consistent playing time, something Neyou currently lacks.
The midfielder, who previously represented Saint-Étienne and Braga, remains valued at around €2 million, according to Transfermarkt.
His versatility and tactical awareness continue to appeal across Spain, even as he weighs his next step carefully.
For now, discussions continue. Leganés hope to act quickly, while Neyou and Getafe consider the sporting benefits of a loan.
The coming weeks will decide whether the Cameroonian returns to a club where he once thrived.
