According to reports from Don Balon via The Metro, Real Madrid are ready to sell Arsenal and Chelsea forward target Jese.
The 22-year-old has produced a decent return of 14 goals in 65 appearances following his 2011 Los Blancos debut but struggled for game-time since an ACL injury in March 2014, this season receiving just four starts in La Liga despite bagging two goals and one assist.
Last month, agent Giles Carvajal declared “the club will have to make a decision” on Jese’s future and reports from earlier this week allege the former Spain U21 is now ready to consider offers ahead of the January transfer window.
Premier League trio Arsenal, Aston Villa and Chelsea are believed to be amongst the more interested parties, alongside Serie A outfit AC Milan.
And according to Don Balon, Real Madrid would be more than open to selling Jese should a suitor match the £21million fee mooted throughout the European press – which is apparently significantly above their valuation of the 5 foot 10 attacker. However, they’re likely to insist upon a buy-back clause in any deal.
