Arsenal are interested in signing Como attacker Jesus Rodriguez at the end of the season.
The 20-year-old has performed well in Italy and Arsenal are keen to sign him. They will also face competition from Manchester City. According to Sportboom, both Premier League clubs are interested in the 20-year-old and see him as a potential future prospect.
It will be interesting to see whether the Italian club intends to allow him to leave. Players are labeled as “assist machines”.
Arsenal could use more creativity on the wing and the 20-year-old would be a long-term signing. He will add unpredictability, speed and flair to the team. The opportunity to join one of the best clubs in the world will be very exciting for him. Arsenal regularly compete for major trophies and the opportunity to sign a talented young player like Rodriguez would be exciting for them as well.
Como, on the other hand, could demand around 55 million euros for the young attacker. They think highly of him and don’t want to lose him easily.
Manchester City, on the other hand, are looking to further improve the quality of their side. Whether they can complete the deal remains to be seen. They have the financial strength to pay the asking price and are likely to be an attractive transfer destination for the player.
Both clubs could provide him with a platform to compete regularly for trophies. It will be interesting to see where he ends up.
The asking price is quite high for someone who is still significantly improving at the highest level. However, there is a possibility that it will justify its outlet in the future.
