Carles Alena wants to leave in January, loan move abroad possible

Getafe are the most interested Spanish side, as confirmed by their president Angel Torres.

Carles Alena has expressed his wish to leave Barcelona in January, reliable RAC1 reveal.

The midfielder could join a fellow La Liga side on loan with Getafe, the most interested party.

A move abroad is also a possibility but no other potential destinations have been mentioned.

Earlier, Getafe's president Angel Torres has confirmed his interest in the 22-year-old.

However, it remains to be seen now whether Alena would be allowed to leave after Philippe Coutinho could miss up to 4 months with a serious knee injury.

Alena has registered just 170 minutes in 5 games this season.
