Liverpool are eyeing up a deal for one of Spain’s best young talents - who is currently starring at the UEFA Euro Under-21 Championship.
The Reds have got big plans to overhaul their squad this summer - with Richard Hughes and Arne Slot willing to move on from several of their Premier League title-winning players.
Caoimhin Kelleher and Trent Alexander-Arnold have already gone - with Federico Chiesa and Darwin Nunez tipped to follow them out the door soon.
And we could even see defenders like Andy Robertson and Jarell Quansah shipped out before the transfer window closes - with plenty of names earmarked to arrive at Anfield during the off-season.
Jeremie Frimpong and Armin Pecsi are already onboard and Milos Kerkez as well as Florian Wirtz will soon be joining them as new Liverpool players for the 2025/26 season.
Liverpool won’t stop there - and the latest reports from ABC in Spain are that the Reds are looking at Jesus Rodriguez of Real Betis.
The 19-year-old has just enjoyed a breakthrough season for the LaLiga side, also finishing as a runner-up in the UEFA Europa Conference League.
He is now firmly on the radar of many top European clubs, leading Betis to renew his contract last September until 2029. That deal has currently got a €35m buyout clause attached to it and reports indicate that Betis would like to increase that sum to €50m.
“No official offers have been received, while the club waits expectantly to see what moves might come for their academy product,” the report reads.
Rodriguez, a winger, scored in Spain’s U21 draw with Italy earlier this week and Spanish media report that Betis hope to see the player’s value increase with more exposure in this tournament.
The club plan to keep him for one more season - seeing another full campaign as potentially useful in raising his value even further.
“RB Leipzig, Liverpool, Aston Villa, and Como have shown interest, not only in understanding Betis’ conditions and asking price for Jesús Rodríguez but also by actively scouting him,” the report reads.
