Guido Rodríguez has lost prominence at West Ham United after Graham Potter replaced Julen Lopetegui in January. The Argentina international has made four appearances under Potter and only once since the end of January.
Last summer, the midfielder joined the Hammers on a free transfer and his future could be elsewhere next season.
On April 5th, we covered claims from Mexico that the 31-year-old is looking to leave West Ham in the summer window. It was also stated Club América, River Plate and Real Betis, three of his former clubs, could be his options.
Radio Continental journalist Sebastián Srur covers the Argentine club’s interest in their former player and River Noticias have relayed his comments. Srur claims River Plate will soon start formal discussions to sign the World Cup winner in the next window.
“Sooner rather than later, possibly next week, River will begin formal negotiations for Guido Rodríguez. The idea is to get him for a percentage of the pass. Marcelo Gallardo believes he’s a solution for the midfield,” he said.
It’s likely the South American club will hold discussions with West Ham so that they can try to sign him before the FIFA Club World Cup in June.
Earlier claims have stated River Plate manager Marcelo Gallardo is keen on signing the West Ham player. The club president, Jorge Brito, has travelled to London to hold talks with Rodríguez, likely to please the manager.
