Liverpool transfer news: Jese Rodriguez wanted despite Paris Saint-Germain president branding Spaniard a flop
PSG believe deal for ex-Real Madrid forward was a mistake but he could now be handed shock reprieve at Anfield
LIVERPOOL are ready to move for Jese Rodriguez in January – even though his Paris Saint-Germain transfer has been branded a ‘mistake’.
The Spaniard only moved to France from Real Madrid for £21milllion last summer but is believed to be heading for the exit already.
Jese has scored just one goal in nine games under Unai Emery and is wanted back in La Liga by Las Palmas after being labelled a flop by PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi.
However, the minnows are struggling to put a loan package together to cover his wages, and fresh reports claim that has opened for Liverpool to pounce.
Jurgen Klopp missed out on Jese when the versatile winger called time on his Santiago Bernabeu adventure.
But the German could finally land his man next month as cover for Sadio Mane, who is set to travel to the African Cup of Nations.
However, claims the Reds face stiff competition for Jese’s signature, with a number of Italian teams throwing their hats in the ring.
AC Milan are keen on doing business, with Jese’s skills and stature making him ideally suited to a place in their front three.
Roma are also interested, and fortunate Jese could soon be handed a reprieve despite his lack of contribution in the French capital.
