PSG boss hints Reds target could leave
With Julian Draxler's arrival at PSG, Jese Rodriguez's future in the French capital looks increasingly in doubt, sparking speculation he could be on his way to Anfield.
The Spanish forward has been left out of PSG's travelling party for a winter friendly in Tunisia and manager Unai Emery has admitted he could be on his way out.
"I spoke with [Jese] and he needs to recover his rhythm and confidence, play minutes and get opportunities," Emery was quoted by Spanish newspaper AS. "The possibility of Jese leaving is a reality."
The former Real Madrid man has been linked with a move to Liverpool, Tottenham and Las Palmas in the transfer window, although he was previously thought to favour a move to Roma.
Should the Jese deal not go through, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is reportedly lining up a £20m deal for Swedish forward Emil Forsberg.
But in bad news for Liverpool fans, RB Leipzig coach Ralph Hasenhuttl has told the Mitteldeutsche Zeitung that the player is not for sale "under any circumstances".
"I do not think the player would leave the club at the moment. I assume that all who are here at the moment are still here at the end of the season," the coach explained.
