Getafe president opens up on Angel Rodriguez possible move to Camp Nou

Getafe president Angel Torres has confirmed he wouldn't stand in Angel Rodriguez's way if Barcelona make a formal enquiry for the club striker. The Catalan giants face a serious injury blow, with their two forwards Luis Suarez and Ousmane Dembele out of the game for a long term due to their injuries. Quique Setien's side have asked the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) for permission to bring in an extra striker outside of the transfer window. Rodriguez is considered to be one of the target for a transfer. La Liga giants could bring the Spanish international for €10 million (£8m/$11m) due to a release clause in his current contract. Torres believes that transfer to Camp Nou is a dream destination for any player. Speaking on Rodriguez's future, he told Catalunya Radio: "Who wouldn't like to go to Barcelona? The club has to be prepared for this. It's not an issue of the release clause but one where I cannot deny a player that has given us so much and has had spectacular performances, the opportunity to join a big club. The price would not be an obstacle." However, Getafe president said that Barcelona haven't been in contact yet to discuss the possible move for the 32-year-old. "I have a good rapport with Barca but right now no one at Barcelona has contacted me. There have been a few names circulating but I've told him (Rodriguez) to continue to work, score goals and be calm...whatever has to happen will happen." Rodriguez has made 20 appearances, scoring 9 goals and assisting twice for Getafe. He helped the team rise to 3rd in the table.
