Real Betis are holding out for £35million as Chelsea step up interest in highly-rated winger Jesus Rodriguez.
Mail Sport reported earlier this year that an increasing number of elite European clubs have taken notice of the 19-year-old's performances in what has been his break-out season in La Liga.
Lightning quick, the Spanish U19 international, has become a crowd favourite with his work ethic and willingness to take on opposition defences.
Coach Manuel Pellegrini has utilised him as a left winger who cuts in onto his right foot while he has also figured on the opposite side, replacing Antony who is on loan from Manchester United.
