After a year of ups and downs and unexpected performance, Jesé Rodríguez has emerged as UD Las Palmas' leading scorer with 11 goals, a figure that contrasts with his previous discreet experiences abroad. Despite his resurgence in the second half of the season, his continuity with his hometown team generates uncertainty.
While the club assures they have a verbal agreement with his agent, Ginés Carvajal, to extend his contract for another year, the player himself has publicly stated he has received no news on the matter and has posted enigmatic messages on social media, casting doubt on his potential departure. This situation arises as the club considers an offensive restructuring due to the likely exit of other players.
Jesé has gained prominence in Luis García's system, moving from a secondary option to a fundamental pillar, especially after overcoming initial physical issues. His ability to take charge and his collective discourse in press conferences and mixed zones, alongside teammates like Viera and Kirian, have been positively valued.
The footballer has expressed on several occasions his desire to continue at UD Las Palmas, reaching a maturity that has allowed him to win over a segment of the fanbase. His relationship with coach Luis García has been notably fluid, overcoming previous disagreements. President Miguel Ángel Ramírez has shown enthusiasm about renewing him, but the ball now seems to be in the player's court.
