Chelsea and Liverpool Eye La Liga Sensation Jesús Rodríguez
So, there's some big transfer news coming out of Spain, and it looks like Chelsea and Liverpool are in the mix once again. This time, they’re both keeping a close eye on one of La Liga’s rising stars—Jesús Rodríguez from Real Betis. This 19-year-old winger has been making waves in Spanish football, and now, top Premier League clubs are circling.
Rodríguez wasn’t even a regular for Betis at the start of the season. In fact, he struggled for game time under Manuel Pellegrini. But since November, something changed. He broke into the first team, forced his way into the starting lineup, and hasn’t looked back. His performances have been so impressive that he’s now one of the hottest prospects in European football.

Over the past few months, Rodríguez has mainly been playing on the left wing, thanks to Betis signing Antony from Manchester United in January. But he’s versatile—he’s also filled in on the right wing when needed. His ability to play across the frontline makes him even more valuable, and that’s one of the reasons why Chelsea and Liverpool are so interested.
Now, here’s the key part: Rodríguez has a release clause of €50 million . That’s the only guaranteed way a club can sign him, and while that’s not exactly cheap, both Chelsea and Liverpool have the financial muscle to make it happen.
Reports suggest that Chelsea, in particular, are very keen on securing his signature. Given their recent struggles on the wings—with Mykhailo Mudryk facing inconsistency and Joao Félix no longer in the squad—Rodríguez could be a perfect addition to their attack. Liverpool, on the other hand, might see him as a long-term successor to someone like Mohamed Salah, especially with ongoing rumors about the Egyptian’s future.
It’s still unclear if Betis will let him go. They’re aware of his value, and if they do decide to sell, they won’t make it easy for interested clubs. But with Chelsea and Liverpool pushing hard, this could be one of the biggest transfer battles of the summer. One thing’s for sure—Jesús Rodríguez is a name we’ll be hearing a lot more of in the coming months.
