Last week, we covered claims from Spain that Guido Rodríguez has hit rock bottom at West Ham United and it could improve his chances of leaving them in the winter market.
It was also said the Hammers wouldn’t oppose a sale if they can recover the money they invested [signing on bonus and agent fee] to sign him for free in the summer window.
Julen Lopetegui left the midfielder out of West Ham’s starting lineup in the last two games against Newcastle United and Arsenal.
Estadio Deportivo claim the manager’s decision to bring him on for 19 minutes against the Magpies and the Gunners shows he no longer counts on the Argentine.
They state it’s not an isolated incident, but ‘rather a consolidated measure’ that led to this situation for the 30-year-old. This has increased rumours about the possibility of him leaving West Ham in the winter market.
Real Betis have been regularly pushed forward as an option considering Rodríguez spent four years at the Andalusian club.
The South American’s entourage have assured Estadio that at this point in time, there’s been ‘no contact’ with any club for Rodríguez to leave West Ham. Despite this, the outlet states an exit isn’t ‘100% ruled out’ because ‘anything can happen’ in the coming weeks.
