Can たがる + そうです?


As far as my knowledge, when we talk about the third person's desire and
feeling, “Someone wants to do something” , we'll use `〜たがる` instead of `〜たい` -
your own desire and feeling or when you ask someone about their desire.

For example:

[code]

    田中さん、旅行したいそうですね!
    Hey Tanaka, I heard that you want to travel!
    (I'm talking with Tanaka)
    
[/code]

So is it possible to be like:

[code]

    田中さんは旅行したがるそうです.
    I heard that Tanaka wants to travel.
    
[/code]




Grammatically, that seems just fine -- ～たがる to express that someone else wants
to do something, and そうだ to express reported speech sourced from someone else.

Google can sometimes be helpful in confirming if a particular structure is in
common use. [Searching for "たがるそう" shows plenty of
hits.](https://www.google.com/search?q=%22%E3%81%9F%E3%81%8C%E3%82%8B%E3%81%9D%E3%81%86%22)
Some of those hits are not relevant, such as when there's a period in between
-- 「たがる。そう」 does not demonstrate what we're looking for. However, the hits do
include plenty of fitting examples, such as: 「僕の彼女のお父さんは、同じ場所ばかり行き **たがるそう**
です。」 ( _" **Apparently** my girlfriend's father only ever **wants to** go to
the same places."_)
