West Ham United will be offloading Guido Rodriguez this summer, and the Argentine midfielder is tackling rumors surrounding his future as Hammer prepares for a critical transfer window.
After a season where West Ham struggled for consistency, new manager Graham Potter is facing the task of restructuring his team this summer.
Players like Lucas Paketa, Mohamed Kudus and Guido Rodriguez are among the key candidates to leave the club in the coming weeks as Potter appears to streamline the team and generate funds for reinforcements.
Rodriguez, 31, joined Hammer on a free transfer last summer following the expiration of his contract with Real Betis.
Will Guido Rodriguez leave West Ham United?
In speculation that links him to a potential move towards Argentina, Rodriguez is now working on rumors of a switch to the riverbed.
The midfielder spoke with Estadio Deportivo to acknowledge his praise for the Argentine giant, while clarifying the current situation regarding his future.
He said: “I know there was a lot of talk about it, but the truth is, no one contacted me, and no one from the club. I was really not contacted.
Hammer can offload midfielders for another signature
Rodriguez’s comments are open to the possibility that he might return to Argentina one day, but there is no formal discussion at this stage, suggesting that his immediate future will be tied to West Ham.
In the case of Hammer, Rodriguez’s decisions regarding the future depend on Potter’s tactical plan.
As West Ham tries to add energy and creativity in the middle, Rodriguez’s potential departure allowed him to free up wages and create space for his team for a new signature.
