Betis aim to strike Reds deal
Liverpool are reportedly ready to secure first option on Real Betis
starlet Juande, as part of a deal that will take Mark Gonzalez back
to Spain.
Real Betis are believed to be leading the chase for the Chilean
winger who has also been linked with Real Zaragoza and Real
Sociedad - where he spent time on loan last year.
Sevillian sources claim that Betis are lining up a 3.5million
(£2.3million) deal for Gonzalez.
Liverpool are ready to do business, but as part of the move Rafa
Benitez is looking to line-up a deal for Juande.
The 20-year-old midfielder, who made the breakthrough into the
Betis first at the end of last season, is seen as one of the
brightest prospects in La Liga.
Juande is a defensive midfielder, a position Liverpool are
currently well stocked, but Benitez is building for the future and
would seemingly be more than happy with letting the youngster
develop at Betis for at least another season.
