Getafe president Angel Torres Sanchez has said the club are prepared for a possible exit of forward Angel Rodriguez to Barcelona, but the Catalans have yet to make contact.

Goal reported the latest comments from the Getafe boss: "For us, Angel would be an important loss, but we are prepared for that situation. We have no news of this interest of FC Barcelona."

The 32-year-old is seen as one of the favourites to strengthen the Catalans on an emergency basis following the injury to Ousmane Dembele.

Per Sport, Barcelona are allowed to sign an emergency replacement outside the transfer window if Dembele's injury sidelines him for more than five months.
