According to a report by Spanish outlet Diario de Sevilla, Jesus Rodriguez is the subject of interest from Como 1907. The Serie A upstart will look to reinforce the offensive unit by signing a wide attacker in the summer transfer window. So, the 19-year-old Real Betis winger has emerged as a target for the Italian outfit.
The Voltaics have leapt to the front of the queue to land the Spaniard in the summer transfer window, with Aston Villa falling behind in the battle. Meanwhile, Como will likely secure an agreement over a deal worth €30 million with Real Betis, with Rodriguez likely to move to Serie A in the coming weeks.
Jesus Rodriguez is the latest highly-rated prospect to rise in prominence in his homeland. The teenage sensation has come leaps and bounds since breaking into the first-team squad at Real Betis, establishing himself as one of the best young prospects in La Liga. The 19-year-old enjoyed his breakthrough at Real Betis in the 2024/25 season, gradually growing in stature at the Andalusian club.
The Spanish attacking prospect turned out 32 times for Los Verdiblancos while chipping in with three goals and two assists. Meanwhile, the youngster’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several well-known clubs across Europe. Aston Villa and Como 1907 are among the prospective suitors vying for his signature in the summer transfer window.
Aston Villa’s interest in Jesus Rodriguez makes sense. The Villans are scouring the market for a wide attacker coming into the summer transfer window after seeing Marcus Rashford and Marco Asensio return to Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain. So, the Real Betis winger has emerged as a viable target for Aston Villa.
However, they are now trailing in the chase, with Como “way ahead” of the West Midlands club. The Serie A upstart will aim to sign a wide attacker in the summer transfer window, with recent reports linking them with Federico Chiesa. With Cesc Fabregas demanding more firepower in the final third, Rodriguez is a long-term target for Como 1907.
A deal worth around €30 million is on the cards, and Aston Villa must move quickly to beat Como 1907 to his signature. However, with the Serie A upstart “way ahead” in the battle, it will be interesting to see what the future holds for the 19-year-old Spanish attacking sensation.
