A tweet from SPORT journalist Samuel Marsden claims that Barcelona have been granted permission to sign a replacement for Dembele but whoever they sign has to be registered with a Spanish club and will only be able to feature in La Liga matches.

Barça* ffs. They can only sign a player already registered in Spain or without a club. Player will not be able to play CL, only La Liga.

Barca have been linked to Getafe forward Angel Rodriguez with Sport claiming that the Catalan side are interested in signing the 32-year-old who has a release clause of €10 million.
The La Liga champions currently have Antoine Griezmann who can play as a centre-forward but they could very much do with a backup and Rodriguez could be a suitable addition if Barca sign him. The Spaniard has had a pretty good season so far, netting 14 gals in 29 appearances across all competitions for Getafe who are currently third in the La Liga.
