🥹 Jesús Rodríguez admits his dream: to return to Betis | OneFootball

Jesús Rodríguez, former Real Betis player and now part of Como 1907, gave an interview to 'El Larguero' on Cadena SER, where he spoke with complete honesty about the reasons and emotions behind his recent departure from the verdiblanco club. Despite his exit, the youth academy graduate made it clear that his heart is still with Betis and that his main wish was to have stayed at the club of his life.

The 20-year-old forward reflected deeply on the coincidence of his departure and the subsequent signing of Antony, a move that seems to have benefited the team. "Maybe my departure helped Antony to come. After all, the level Antony is showing is very good," Rodríguez commented.

The player added a phrase that sums up his loyalty: "If I had to leave so that Betis could do as well as possible, I will always be happy, but I wish we could have both stayed". With this statement, Rodríguez shows remarkable maturity, prioritizing the success of the Seville club above his personal situation.

However, the big question posed to him was about a potential return to Heliópolis. The player did not hesitate to express his feelings, though with caution, acknowledging that the decision does not depend solely on him. "Well, right now we've left there. As I said, I would like to return, but I don't know if they have any intentions at the moment, I left four months ago..." he explained.

Despite the short time since his transfer, the door to a return is not closed for Jesús Rodríguez, who does not hide that Betis will always be his home. For now, he is focused on his time in Italy, but the possibility of wearing the verdiblanco shirt again remains a lingering dream for the young talent raised in the Betis academy.
