Getafe president Torres won't block Angel Rodriguez from Barcelona move

Getafe president Angel Torres accepts they risk losing striker Angel Rodriguez in the coming days.

The veteran is being linked with Barcelona as they seek an emergency replacement signing for Ousmane Dembele, whose season has now been written off after undergoing hamstring surgery.

Torres said: "I cannot deny a boy to go to a big team like Barça. Barça cannot be told no, if they ask a player or a sports director. I have also told them the termination clause (€10m) would not be a problem.

"I told him to be calm. He knows the relationship I have with the people of Barcelona and that there was nothing, that many names were going to come out.

"Who would not like to go to Barça?"
