My Take
Jese Rodriguez is one of football's great what-if stories for me. A Real Madrid academy graduate from Gran Canaria, he looked destined for stardom, genuinely electric pace and finishing as a teenager, before a serious knee injury and a string of unsettled moves derailed the trajectory. The PSG and stop-start loan years were frustrating to watch given the talent. I've followed his return to Las Palmas with real affection; there's something fitting about him back where it started. He's also dabbled in rap, which sums up his outsized personality. A reminder that ability alone never guarantees the career it should.
