Chelsea, Liverpool and Newcastle United are all interested in Real Betis winger Assane Diao, according to reports from Spain.
It’s Mucho Deporte who today features a story about the 18-year-old’s potential, claiming his good start of season has drawn the interest from many clubs.
The article claims that in the past few weeks, Premier League clubs such as Chelsea, Liverpool and Newcastle have all made approaches about his signing.
Diao has a release clause worth just €30m, and that’s why Betis want to renew his contract and raise that amount to at least €40m.
The winger has six goals in 14 appearances for the club this season, and is one of those responsible for them fighting for a European spot.
Mucho Deporte highlight how Diao has ‘dazzled’ Betis fans with his potential this season, also becoming ‘very attractive’ for other clubs.
Liverpool had already been linked to the player in the summer, when it was RB Leipzig who were worried about losing him to the Reds. Meanwhile, Chelsea and Newcastle interest seems to be something new for the Spanish media.
