Betis keeps the doors open for the return of Guido Rodríguez, but with one clear condition: the operation will only be carried out if the Argentine midfielder arrives as a free agent, in other words, on loan or by terminating his contract, as reported by Estadio Deportivo.

The green-and-white club does not consider paying a transfer fee to West Ham, which currently holds the world champion's rights.

Betis seeks to reinforce the midfield

William Carvalho's departure forces the Sevillian team to find a reliable substitute. In recent days, the board has explored various options, including Uruguayan Facundo Bernal, although negotiations with Fluminense for about seven million euros have not progressed.

In this context, the name of Guido Rodríguez has resurfaced. The player, who left regretting not having renewed a year ago, would be willing to adjust his salary to return to Benito Villamarín. However, everything depends on whether he can terminate the two-year contract he still has with West Ham.

Juventus on the prowl

The situation is not straightforward. According to the Italian press, Juventus is also closely monitoring the midfielder as an economical alternative after failing in their attempts to sign O’Riley or Kessié. The prospect of playing in Serie A and remaining in the European elite is appealing to the Argentine, who aims to arrive in top form for the upcoming World Cup.

Competition from Italy poses a challenge for Betis, but the advantage for the green-and-whites lies in the emotional bond the player maintains with the club and the city.

Guido Rodríguez, in Betis' sights

Espanyol and América withdraw from the bid

Betis' strategy gains strength thanks to the withdrawal of two direct competitors. Espanyol, who had considered a loan deal with a six-million-euro purchase option, finalized their midfield with Charles Pickel and Urko González de Zárate.

In Mexico, América ruled out his return due to foreign player quota limitations and the cost of the operation. Although there was enthusiasm among the blue-cream fans for his comeback, Guido himself prioritizes continuing in Europe.

The Heliopolitan club knows that signing Guido Rodríguez would mean an immediate reinforcement. In his previous spell in Seville, he played 151 matches, scored 8 goals, and played a key role in winning the Copa del Rey 2022. His authority in midfield is undeniable, but Betis is not willing to jeopardize its finances to bring him back.

Rafa Yuste, the club's vice president, was clear: “We want to strengthen, but under conditions that do not compromise the future.” That firm stance sets the course for a team that is also negotiating the possible arrival of Antony from Manchester United.

The return of Guido Rodríguez to Betis remains a real possibility, but its realization will depend on how his contractual situation in England is resolved.
