Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is keen on tying Jese Rodriguez down to a new deal at the Santiago Bernabeu, according to reports.
The 21-year-old forward made his comeback in the first team on Tuesday night after nine months out with a serious knee injury. And he marked the occasion with a goal as Los Blancos defeated Corenalla 5-0 to set up a clash with Atletico de Madrid in the next round of the competition.
Jese has a contract at the Spanish giants until 2017 and earns a reported salary of around two million euros a year. But the Spanish press claim Perez has been so impressed with the striker that he wants to tie him down to another long-term deal until 2021. The club president is also keen to include a 200 million euro buyout clause to ward off any potential admirers.
Should Jese be rewarded with a new deal, it will continue Real’s policy of tying down the younger players to long contracts. Defender Nacho Fernandez was the latest to sign a new deal at the club.
Jese has made a name for himself at the club last season but his season was curtailed by a cruciate ligament injury picked up in the Champions League match against Schalke.
