Getafe president confirms interest in Barcelona's Alena

Getafe president Angel Torres has confirmed the club's interest in Barcelona midfielder Carles Alena and Real Madrid winger Takefusa Kubo.

The Spanish side have been linked with a move for 22-year-old Alena for weeks amid his struggle to secure a regular place in Ronald Koeman's starting XI, having returned to Camp Nou in the summer after spending the second half of last season on loan at Real Betis.

Alena has featured five times for the Blaugrana in the current campaign, starting just one of those matches - the 4-0 win against Dynamo Kyiv in the Champions League in November.
