Rodríguez has experienced a rapid rise at Betis this season, drawing the attention of top European clubs with a series of standout performances since his senior debut in October. His recent display against Jagiellonia in the UEFA Conference League further boosted his reputation, playing a pivotal role in guiding Betis toward the semi-finals.
As reported by AS, Chelsea have been closely monitoring the winger, viewing him as a potential replacement for Jadon Sancho if a move happens in the near future.
Despite the mounting speculation about Rodríguez’s future, Real Betis remain calm. The club acted quickly to secure his services with a new contract that includes a €35 million (£30m/$40m) release clause. The contract also features an additional clause that allows Betis to increase the buyout fee should significant interest surface, giving them extra leverage in negotiations.
Managed by Manuel Pellegrini, Rodríguez has primarily played on the left wing, where he cuts inside onto his favored right foot. However, his versatility has also allowed him to fill in on the right side, occasionally standing in for Antony, currently on loan from Manchester United.
Chelsea have already shown their commitment to investing in young talent, with the recent acquisition of Geovany Quenda from Sporting Lisbon. Although Quenda will remain on loan in Portugal for another season, his signing underscores Chelsea’s long-term recruitment strategy.
