Jesé Rodríguez, in the coming days, will renew his contract with Real Madrid ending in June 2017. The intention of the club is also to leave him on loan this summer. The player, who after three seasons sees his role in the team doesn’t increase, frowns this double operation, according to Spanish newspaper As.
There are already many clubs of La Liga that have shown interest in the possible transfer, like Espanyol, with which Los Blancos have a great relationship right now after Casilla’s deal and Asensio and Burgui’s loans, and Las Palmas. There is an interest even from Bayer Leverkusen (Germany). Real hope that he could explode if he has more minutes in another team.
If Morata is sold by surprise this summer (the Spanish forward has a pending conversation with Zidane because he wants to know what will be his role on the team), then Jesé would have an option to stay. But it seems unlikely.
The renewal of the Canterano player, however, is certain. The club and the player’s agent, Ginés Carvajal, have already talked and they see three or four years more on his contract (until 2020 or 2021) without having transcended the salary increase that will happen (currently his salary is about €1.8 million per year).
Last season, his third in the Madrid first team, Jesé played only 27% of possible minutes (1.255′ to 4.680′). It was distributed in 38 matches played, but he played as a starting member only in 11 times. He ended up scoring six goals, one important, the second 0-2 against Roma in the first knockout round of the Champions League. The reality is that Lucas Vázquez finished snatching him the role of player number 12. Even Zidane reached for Mayoral to replace Benzema when the Frenchman was injured (Mayoral played six league games, three starts).
