Rangel keen to leave Swans

Blackpool transfer target Angel Rangel has told Swansea City that he would like to leave the club to try his luck in the Premier League.
The 27-year-old Spanish right-back was recently the subject of an offer from the Seasiders and Rangel has told the Swans’ hierarchy that he wants to move on.
Chairman Huw Jenkins told the South Wales Echo: “We’re still talking through Blackpool’s offer at the moment. It hasn’t been accepted or rejected, we’re just discussing it.
“Myself and Brendan Rodgers have had a meeting with Rangel and have got his views on where he sees himself at the club and his future and we’ve discussed the options which are staying at the club, looking at a new proposal from us or – if we did agree a fee with Blackpool – accepting the bid.
“But I think Rangel feels at the moment, because of his age and where he’s at in his career having been at the club a few years, he feels there’s an opportunity to take advantage of.
“That’s obviously clear and has come over quite strongly.
“The difficulty is that until we get the right offer on the table which is suitable for us, as with any player, he remains our player and that’s as simple as that.
“It’s up to Blackpool if they want to pursue the likelihood of signing Angel and to keep negotiations going.”
