West Ham United is in advanced negotiations to incorporate Argentine midfielder Guido Rodríguez, who is available as a free agent after leaving Real Betis.

Guido Rodríguez, the new player of West Ham United
Rodríguez, who was a key player in the Argentine national team that won the World Cup and Copa America, had attracted the attention of several top European clubs. He even came close to joining FC Barcelona, but the departure of coach Xavi Hernandez thwarted that potential transfer, forcing the player to reassess his market options.
After being released from Real Betis mid-year, the midfielder has been on the radar of several teams, but it is West Ham who has made more progress in negotiations. Sources close to the player confirm that Rodríguez has a verbal agreement with the Hammers and is expected to travel to England in the coming days for a medical check and to sign a contract that will link him with the club until June 2027.
West Ham coach Julen Lopetegui is confident that Rodríguez's addition will strengthen the team's midfield, providing experience and defensive solidity. Hammers fans eagerly await the official announcement of the signing, which could become one of the standout moves of the summer transfer window for the club.
