Arsenal and Liverpool receive boost as Real Madrid consider selling Jese Rodriguez

Real Madrid are willing to listen to offers for Jese Rodriguez, with Arsenal and Liverpool both set to be alerted by the forward’s availability.

The 23-year-old is likely to struggle for game time this season given Real’s abundance of attacking talent, with Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale backed up by Isco and James Rodriguez.

Jese’s prospects appear no better than last season, when he started only seven games. Marca reports that Real are ready to hear offers for their academy graduate, who has scored 13 goals in 63 first-team appearances.

The versatile forward is thought to want to stay and fight for his place during pre-season, but Real may also be willing to sanction a loan exit or a permanent deal with a buy-back-option – a ploy that has served them well with the likes of Alvaro Morata, Dani Carvajal, Lucas Vazquez and Casemiro.

Liverpool and Arsenal are known to have been tracking Jese in the past and are likely to be monitoring the striker’s situation.
