Guido Rodríguez leaves West Ham, set to join Valencia in Spain | OneFootball

The midfielder who came up through River will play on loan at the Spanish club for one season, with no purchase option. His goal is to get more playing time to increase his chances of being called up for the World Cup.

Guido Rodríguez was loaned from West Ham to Valencia for one season, with no purchase option. The midfielder did not get the minutes he wanted over the last six months (he played only eight matches) and saw the opportunity to leave in search of more playing time as a positive move.

The World Cup winner and two-time Copa América champion with the Argentine National Team knows that if he wants a better chance of making the World Cup squad, he needs to be in top competitive form. At the Spanish club, he will be teammates with Lucas Beltrán, who also came up through River’s youth system.

Valencia’s current situation is not good at all, despite being in the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey (where they will face Athletic Club). In La Liga, they sit in 17th place in the standings and are ahead of Alavés by just one point.
