Liverpool and Manchester United are interested in signing the real Betis Winger Jesus Rodriguez during the summer transfer period.
According to a report by Estadio Deportivo, the two clubs are monitoring the 19-year-old attacker and will face competition from Premier League rival Aston Villa.
Rodriguez is highly regarded in Spain, and he has a bright future. The 19-year-old is a left-handed winger with five goals and four assists from last season. He could develop into a great attacker in the future, and by moving into the Premier League, he can unlock his true potential.
Liverpool and Manchester United need more depth in the sides, and the 19-year-old adds an explosive pace and talent aside. He is said to be an unparalleled top speed player.
Liverpool and Man United were able to use Jesus Rodriguez
Liverpool is overly dependent on Mohamed Sarah and Luis Diaz on the sides. They need more deaths in that area of the pitch. As far as Manchester United is concerned, Antony, Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford could be sold forever. An alternative is needed.
The 19-year-old could be a solid long-term acquisition for both clubs. It will be interesting to see if they will come forward with an offer to get the deal done. They have the resources to convince Spanish clubs to sell young people.
Premier League moves may be ideal for the La Liga Ace
Liverpool and Manchester United have been doing well over the years to develop talented young players and have been able to play an important role in the development of the 19-year-old. British regular football was able to bring out the best of him.
Meanwhile, Aston Villa is also very keen to secure his signature. They hope to secure European qualifications next season, and need more depth in their offensive units.
Recently, Arsenal and Chelsea have also been linked to players.
