Transfers are likely the last thing Liverpool fans want to hear about after the last two windows.

Liverpool is currently enjoying a stellar season, sitting atop the Premier League table with an impressive record of 16 wins, 5 draws, and just one loss.

However, beneath the surface of this success, a sense of discontent is simmering amongst the fanbase online.

The recent transfer windows have left many supporters feeling frustrated and skeptical about the club’s approach to squad strengthening.

While the team’s performance on the pitch has been excellent, the lack of activity in the transfer market is seen as a missed opportunity to solidify their position and prepare for potential future challenges.

Memories of last season’s collapse due to injuries have left fans wary.

But Arne Slot has been vocal about being happy with the state of the squad and assured that the club is working at strengthening in the summer.

Fabrizio Romano also recently asserted that the upcoming summer transfer window would be a ‘busy’ one for the Anfield club.

And according to the latest reports, the club is laying the groundwork to make that a reality.

What is the latest from Spain on Liverpool?

According to local Real Betis outlet PTI Sevilla (as relayed by Sport Witness), Liverpool have identified winger Jesús Rodríguez as a potential transfer target.

The 19-year-old has spent time in Betis’ youth system and was promoted to the first team earlier this season – notching a goal and assist each.

Spanish outlet El Desmarque also cover the news, and assert that the teenager has ‘burst’ on the scene not only in La Liga but across Europe – hence Liverpool interest.

It is reported that, last Sunday, Liverpool representatives were present at the Benito Villamarín stadium, where they closely monitored Jesús Rodríguez’s performance.

Rodríguez started the match against Athletic Club and played nearly the entire game, being substituted by Pablo García in the 81st minute.

Liverpool has a history of scouting talent from Seville’s two major clubs, as evidenced by past signings Antonio Barragan, Dani Pacheco, Suso, and Luis Alberto, who all had ties to either Real Betis or Sevilla.

Now, according to El Desmarque, the Merseyside club continues this pattern of recruitment in the region, with Jesús Rodríguez emerging as their latest target from the Andalusian talent pool.
