Getafe eyeing up Mallorca's Dani Rodríguez as salary cap talks loom
The 37-year-old Galician midfielder is keen on joining Bordalás' side after ending his seven-and-a-half year stint with Mallorca last month.
Getafe have set their sights on veteran midfielder Dani Rodríguez, with the 37-year-old apparently well up for a move to Madrid after ending his lengthy spell at Mallorca in December.
Deal hinges on financial wiggle room
The potential transfer is currently hanging in the balance as Getafe work through their salary cap situation. My sources tell me this week will be absolutely crucial in determining whether the Azulones can get this one over the line.
Bordalás’ men are sitting pretty in 10th place in La Liga with 21 points, and clearly fancy adding some experienced legs to their midfield options for the second half of the campaign.
Limited minutes this season
Rodríguez has been proper starved of action at Mallorca this term:
- Just 67 minutes of La Liga football
- Appearances in only two matches
- Terminated his contract in late December after seven-and-a-half seasons
Proven top-flight pedigree
Despite his age, the Betanzos-born midfielder brings serious top-flight experience to the table:
- 183 La Liga appearances
- 17 goals
- 27 assists
For Getafe, this could be a right Bobby Dazzler of a signing if they can sort out the financial bits and bobs. A player with Rodríguez’s experience doesn’t become available on a free too often in the January window.
The coming days should reveal whether Bordalás will get his man or if the salary cap will put the kibosh on proceedings.
