Spanish club hijacks Grêmio’s move for midfielder | OneFootball

According to the Spanish newspaper Marca, Valencia is very close to finalizing the signing, on loan, of Guido Rodríguez, the 31-year-old Argentine midfielder from West Ham, England. The agreement foresees a loan until the end of the European season, in June.

Unable to establish himself at the English club, the player who was part of Argentina’s 2022 World Cup-winning squad reportedly negotiated with Grêmio, but chose to respond to Valencia’s interest instead.
