Joan Laporta Goes after Betis’s Star and a Response Already Came: ‘It’s 50 Million’

Barça's president seeks to strengthen the attack and has already inquired about his signing. Betis won't make it easy.

The relationships between Barça and Betis have been fluid in recent years. Both have completed transfers and loans on several occasions. Cases like those of Vitor Roque, Marc Bartra, or Ez Abde have strengthened this connection.

Now, however, the situation has changed, and it is Barça who wants to sign from Betis. Joan Laporta is looking to strengthen the forward line with a quality winger. Additionally, he needs the operation to be economically viable.

Joan Laporta seeks young talent for the attack

The market offers few accessible options for Barça. Joan Laporta is aware of the economic difficulties and doesn't want large expenditures. Therefore, he has focused his interest on a young prospect shining in LaLiga.

From Laporta's circle, they have closely followed several alternatives. The idea is to sign an striker with imbalance and future projection. In this sense, they have found an ideal candidate in Betis.

The great revelation of LaLiga has entered the culé agenda

It is a prospect who has surprised everyone with his performance. His ability in one-on-one situations has made him a decisive player. Additionally, he is showing great maturity despite his young age.

His performances have caught the attention of Europe's giants. Laporta has already inquired about his situation, seeking a formula to incorporate him. However, Betis has been clear about their stance.

Jesús Rodríguez, the chosen one by Barça

The Andalusian winger has become one of the great promises of Spanish soccer. His dribbling and ease in scoring have been key to his growth. Despite his young age, he has already delivered great performances in LaLiga.

Jesús Rodríguez has accumulated important minutes this season. His numbers have surprised even the most optimistic. Joan Laporta has him on his list and believes he could be a future investment.

Betis won't let Jesús Rodríguez leave for less than 50 million

Although his current market value is just one million, Betis is clear about his price. The verdiblanca board won't sell him for less than 50 million. He is a key piece, and they want to capitalize on his growth.

Laporta knows that the negotiation won't be easy. Barça will have to decide whether to make an offensive or look for other alternatives. Everything will depend on the club's economic possibilities for the next season.
