Transfers

Richard Hughes now keen to do deal similar to one Liverpool have completed five other times

Liverpool did not sign any new players during the winter transfer window – and why would they?

The Reds currently sit top of the Premier League under Arne Slot – and progressed through to the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 as winners of the league phase – so there is lꦓittle Liverpool can improve within th🌃eir squad.

Liverpool did look at Stefano Tzimas – but Brighton ended up signing the Greece U🦋💙21 international in a £20m deal.

However, at least one or two signings are expected to be made this summer as Liverpool aim to keep their squad fresh and competitive, with Richard Hughes – Director o꧑f Football at Anfield – now making plans to complete a deal similar to one we often see the Reds make.

Liverpool want to sign Jesus Rodriguez from Real Betis

A story from in Spain now states t🦹hat Liverpool are keen to sign Jesus Rodriguez from Real Betis.

The Spanish 🐽news outlet claim that Liverpool ꦺarranged for scouts to go and watch the 2-2 draw between Real Betis and Athletic Bilbao on Sunday, in which the Spain U19 international played 81 minutes.

Rodriguez only broke into the first-tea🙈m earlier this season, with the 19-ye♋ar-old amassing six appearances in La Liga so far, scoring one goal.

Liverpool have previous when it comes to snapping up talent from Spain

If Hughes – who left Bournemouth for Merseyside – manages to bring Rodriguez to Anওfield, it would be the sixth time we’ve seen Liverpool signꦇ a top prospect from Spain.

🥃El Desmarque pay reference to the fact Liverpool have previously signed five other Spanish wonderkids in the form of An🌠tonio Barragan, Dani Pacheco, Miki Roque, Suso and Luis Alberto.

Of course, none of them managed to fulfil their potentiaಌl at Anfield – although Suso and Alberto did find success at AC Milan and Lazio respectively📖.

Clearly – however – the Reds have not been put off by a relative lack of success in this particular area of the market, with Rodriguez no♋w being closely monitored by Liverpool after his breakthrough in Spain.
