In recent years, FC Barcelona have developed quite a good relationship with their fellow La Liga club Celta de Vigo, and this relationship has resulted in transfers of several players, including those of Rafinha, Denis Suarez, and Oscar Mingueza.

Now, according to Fichajes, the Vigo side is looking to take advantage of this close relationship with the Blaugrana club once again, as they want to land the talented youngster Dani Rodriguez.

The 20-year-old forward is one of the most talented players in the up-and-coming crop of youth academy players at the Catalan club, but he will mainly be playing with Barcelona Atletic this season, which was relegated to the Segunda Federacion. Thus, a move to Celta could provide him with the opportunity to gain regular top-flight experience.

This top-flight experience will be hard to come by at Barcelona, as the Blaugranes brought in players like Marcus Rashford and Roony Bardghji this summer, while several other youngsters are also looking to make the leap to the first team. In such a context, the Catalans have set a €4 million price tag on the youngster.

Still, it would not really be easy for Celta Vigo to land the youngster, especially as other teams like Athletic Club, Mallorca, and Valencia are also interested in him.
