1BSPORTS 1B Sports June 15th According to the Post, Villa has contacted Real Betis about signing winger Jessus Rodriguez, and the 19-year-old young player has also attracted the attention of Chelsea.
It is understood that Emery hopes to strengthen the team’s wings this summer, so he expressed interest in Rodriguez. Currently, Rodriguez is representing Spain in the U21 European Championship.
Last season, Rodriguez performed well in the club, playing 32 times for Betis in various competitions and scoring 3 goals. He comes from Betis’ youth training and mainly plays as a left winger. In the Europa League final between Betis and Chelsea, Rodriguez made his debut in the second half as a substitute.
Villa is reportedly required to balance the accounts by the June 30 profit and sustainability rules deadline, so the team may need to sell some players. However, the club is also actively looking for new players, and Rodriguez is one of the potential targets.
