Manchester United will reportedly look to sign 20-year-old Spanish winger Jesus Rodriguez from high-flying Serie A club Como in the summer transfer window.
According to an update by French journalist Sebastien Vidal, Jesus Rodriguez is the subject of interest from Manchester United. The Red Devils are eager to bolster the offensive unit by signing a wide attacker in the summer transfer window. So, the 20-year-old Como winger has emerged as a target for them.
The latest report has revealed that the Premier League heavyweights view the Spaniard as a long-term replacement for Marcus Rashford, who they hope to sell to Barcelona in the summer transfer window.
How has Jesus Rodriguez fared at Como 1907?
Jesus Rodriguez is the latest promising prodigy from his homeland to rise in prominence. The 20-year-old has made considerable progress in recent years, as he established himself as one of the best young prospects in La Liga during his spell with Real Betis before joining Como in a deal worth £24 million last summer.
The Spanish attacking prospect has been impressive for the Serie A club this season, scoring three goals and providing eight assists in 28 appearances in all competitions thus far. Meanwhile, the youngster’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several well-known clubs. Manchester United will be among the prospective suitors vying for his signature in the summer transfer window.
Premier League move on the horizon?
Manchester United’s interest in Jesus Rodriguez is understandable. While Matheus Cunha, Amad Diallo, and Bryan Mbeumo have been impressive for the Premier League club this season, they need more options for the flanks once they return to a European competition next season.
Several candidates, including Yan Diomande, have thus emerged on Manchester United’s wishlist, with Rodriguez also a viable target. The latest report has revealed that the Red Devils view the 20-year-old Spaniard as a long-term replacement for Marcus Rashford, who has been pushing to complete a permanent move to Barcelona in the summer transfer window.
However, Manchester United will not be alone in the battle for Rodriguez’s signature, as recent reports have linked him with several high-profile Premier League clubs. So, it will be interesting to see what the future holds for the Spanish winger.
