Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United are ready to compete with Chelsea to sign 19-year-old Spanish winger Jesus Rodriguez from La Liga club Real Betis this summer.
According to a report by Caught Offside, Jesus Rodriguez is the subject of interest from Chelsea. The Blues are scouring the market for a wide attacker heading into the summer transfer window and have set their sights on the Real Betis winger. However, the West London club will face stiff competition from Arsenal and Liverpool for the Spanish prodigy’s signature.
Meanwhile, a report by Graeme Bailey on United in Focus has revealed that the Real Betis winger is the subject of interest from Manchester United. The Red Devils have already enquired about the Spaniard’s availability during talks with Los Verdiblancos over a possible move for Antony in the summer transfer window.
Jesus Rodriguez is the latest highly-rated prospect to rise in prominence in his homeland. The Seville native has already established a foothold in the first-team squad at Real Betis, chipping in with two goals and two assists in 25 appearances thus far for Los Verdiblancos. Meanwhile, the youngster’s progress has not gone unnoticed, alerting Premier League bigwigs like Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester United.
Arsenal will dip into the market for a wide attacker heading into the summer transfer window to reduce the over-dependence on Bukayo Saka in the final third. So, the Spanish winger has emerged as a viable target for Arsenal. As for Chelsea, recent reports have claimed that they are ready to go all out to secure his services in the summer transfer window.
Mykhailo Mudryk’s long-term future at the club level is uncertain after failing a doping test. In addition, it is unclear if Jadon Sancho will remain at Chelsea beyond the summer transfer window. So, Jesus Rodriguez is a viable target for the West London outfit. Meanwhile, Liverpool’s interest in the youngster makes sense.
While Mohamed Salah has signed a new contract with Liverpool, Luis Diaz faces an uncertain future at Anfield. As for Manchester United, Antony, Marcus Rashford, and Jadon Sancho will likely seal permanent moves away from Old Trafford in the summer transfer window. So, pursuing Rodriguez is understandable for Manchester United.
In addition, the Red Devils have already enquired about his availability during talks with La Liga club Real Betis over a possible summer move for Antony. So, it will be interesting to see where the 19-year-old Spanish winger lands in the summer transfer window.
