We would be close to knowing the future of the Argentine footballer Guido Rodriguez who would be close to signing with him West Ham from England, where he will coincide again with Edson Alvarez with whom he was champion with América in 2019. This transaction has generated uncertainty about whether the Águilas will receive any type of payment.
At 30 years of age, the midfielder was released after finishing his time with Betis in Seville, and although he was very close to signing with Barcelona, the sudden departure of coach Xavi Hernández stopped the negotiations. He and his agent have been looking for a new team where he can continue his football career for weeks.
This Friday, the Italian insider Fabrizio Romano announced that the South American would have advanced talks to sign with West Ham of England, which is the team that has made the most progress to sign him, beyond the fact that he has been presented with various options in the European market and even in Latin America, where it had been rumored that the America would have been interested in signing him again.
However, the intention of the player who was world champion in 2022 with his National Team is to stay in the football of the old continent and after analyzing several options, he reached a verbal agreement with the Hammers and would sign a contract in the following days, although it is unknown for now what its extension would be, but it is expected to be for at least two years with the option to extend it.
It is worth remembering that América sold Guido Rodríguez in 2019, keeping a 30% percentage of his salary, and if Betis had sold him at the time, the Águilas would have received a portion of the agreed amount. But since Guido Rodríguez ended his employment relationship with the Andalusian team, that clause was lost and the midfielder is free to sign with the club that suits him best without having any financial commitment to América.
