West Ham Midfielder Guido Rodriguez Seeking La Liga Return
West Ham United midfielder Guido Rodriguez has instructed his representatives to explore a potential return to La Liga side Real Betis, sources close to the club have revealed.
The Argentine World Cup winner has struggled to adapt to the Premier League since joining the Hammers on a free transfer in the summer. Rodriguez’s difficulties have not gone unnoticed, and a January transfer may be the best solution for both parties.
According to a training ground source, Rodriguez remains “extremely professional” and will continue to give 100% for West Ham whenever selected. However, a parting of ways could benefit both the player and the club, creating space within the squad and wage structure.
A loan deal with Real Betis, with whom West Ham have a good relationship following the sale of Pablo Fornals, is a possible option. Terminating Rodriguez’s contract in January could also be a viable solution.
Key Points:
