Watford have moved ahead of Crystal Palace in the race to sign Getafe keeper Vicente Guaita, according to Sky Sports' Spanish football expert Guillem Balague.
The 30-year-old's contract expires at the end of the season and Getafe are keen to get a fee - believed to be £3.5m - rather than lose him for nothing in the summer.
Sky Sports News reported last week that Palace, who are in the market for a new 'keeper in the January window, are in negotiations to sign the Spaniard.
Their other target Guaita was left out of Getafe's team that were defeated by Atletico Madrid at the weekend.
Besiktas have also been reported to hold an interest in the player, who has conceded just 16 goals in 17 La Liga appearances this season.
Guaita came through the ranks at Valencia before moving to Getafe - currently eighth in La Liga - in the summer of 2014.
