Barcelona forward Pedro Rodriguez has given his backing to a potential swoop by the Catalan giants for Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina.
The Blaugrana are hunting a new number 1 following the bombshell dropped by Victor Valdes earlier this season that he does not intend to renew his contract at the Camp Nou.
