“Terminate His Contract” | January Transfer Best for Everyone
West Ham midfielder Guido Rodriguez has instructed his representatives to explore if there is any chance he could return to La Liga side Real Betis this season.
The revelation comes after the Argentinian World Cup winner admitted he’s struggling to adapt to the Premier League. The news will not surprise anyone at the club or even Hammers fans, who have seen Rodriguez struggle to adjust to the pace and intensity of the English game since his free transfer this summer.
It should be noted that Rodriguez is not agitating for a move or refusing to play. The Hammers have a good relationship with Betis, having sold Pablo Fornals last season, and a loan deal could be a possible option.

If no agreement can be reached, Rodriguez will continue to give 100% for West Ham whenever selected, with a training ground source revealing to C&H that the player is ‘extremely professional’.
However, it could be that a parting of the ways might suit both Rodriguez and West Ham, with the club looking to create space within the squad and wage structure. The midfielder is not expected to make unreasonable demands, and it would seem that terminating the player’s contract in the January transfer window could suit both sides.
