Getafe striker Angel Rodriguez sudden Barcelona emergency target

Getafe striker Angel Rodriguez is being linked with Barcelona as an emergency replacement signing.

After Luis Suarez's lengthy injury, Ousmane Dembele will be also sidelined for the rest of the season.

If Barcelona prove to the RFEF that the Frenchman will be out for more than five months, they should have the thumbs up to sign an emergency replacement from the Spanish market, reports Marca.

The Catalan side have already monitored several players including Girona striker Cristhian Stuani and Real Sociedad striker Willian Jose, with Angel being the latest name to enter their list.

He meets the profile of player that the club are in search of to fill the gap they currently have in attack and he is an experienced LaLiga Santander striker.

The 32-year-old has netted 12 goals in 25 games so far this season and his buyout clause is set at 10 million euros.
