Guido Rodriguezformer player of Real Betisis in the last steps to sign for Valencia and his debut in his new team aims to be the match between Verdiblancos and Valencianistas in La Cartuja on February 1, corresponding to … the 22nd day of LaLiga. The Argentine international, 31, is finalizing his termination with the West Hama club he left for after ending his contract at Heliópolis and not wanting to renew, and wants to return to LaLiga after a less than fruitful sporting experience in the Premier League.
The fact is that after leaving Betis, which offered him a renewal several times but was rejected by the Argentine’s representatives for financial reasons, Guido joined West Ham in the summer of 2024. He signed with the London team until June of this year 2026 with the option of one more but he is barely counting in his coach’s plans and will leave West Ham having only played 32 official matches in these seasons.
Valencia, at the bottom of the table, was looking for reinforcement for its core and has negotiated the incorporation of Guido, who has already scheduled medical examinations for this weekend, as Matteo Moretto, Fabrizio Romano and several Valencian media have highlighted.
Betis probed Guido’s return in the summer
Betis explored Guido’s return last summer but it was not possible due to different circumstances. This is how he explained it Manu Fajardogreen and white sports director, at the presentation ceremony for Amrabat, who finally arrived to occupy that position in the Betic pivot: «Guido was a possibility that was valued, but the economic cost did not allow us to take that step forward. “We had prepared alternatives of their level or higher and we decided to opt for Amrabat.”
At Betis Guido left a great mark by being one of the members of the Copa del Rey champion team in 2022 and playing 173 games, scoring nine goals, being captain and at that stage becoming world champion with Argentina.
