Chelsea and Liverpool Eye Real Betis’ Rising Star Jesus Rodriguez

Chelsea have intensified their interest in Real Betis’ 19-year-old winger, Jesus Rodriguez, who has a £42 million release clause in his contract.

The young talent has been making waves in La Liga, catching the attention of elite scouts with his remarkable speed and skill. Rodriguez has been a standout performer for Real Betis this season, contributing one goal and two assists in 17 appearances.

Rodriguez’s impressive performances have not gone unnoticed by other top clubs. Liverpool are also closely monitoring his progress, having sent scouts to watch him in action.

The teenager’s versatility has been a key asset for Real Betis, as he has seamlessly transitioned from the right wing to the left following the arrival of Manchester United loanee Antony.

Real Betis, however, remain calm despite the growing interest in their young star. The club recently extended Rodriguez’s contract until 2029, which includes the £42 million release clause.

Rodriguez himself is reportedly happy at Real Betis and believes that staying with the club is best for his development.

Chelsea’s pursuit of Rodriguez aligns with their strategy of signing young talents on long-term contracts. The Blues have built a reputation for prioritizing the acquisition of promising players under the ownership of Todd Boehly.

Should Chelsea decide to trigger Rodriguez’s release clause, they will face stiff competition from Liverpool, who are also keen to bolster their squad with young talent.
