Barcelona’s interest in Real Betis midfielder Guido Rodriguez ruled out by player’s agent
Recent reports linking Real Betis midfielder Guido Rodriguez to Barcelona have been dismissed, according to Seville-based publication ED. The 29-year-old Argentine has been the subject of transfer speculation in recent years, with clubs such as Arsenal, Manchester United, and Atletico Madrid reportedly showing interest. However, ED has claimed that there has been no contact from Barcelona, and Rodriguez’s agents are set to meet with Betis to discuss his future.
Rodriguez is known for his physicality and ability to control the midfield, although some believe that he lacks the ball-handling skills required to fill the void left by departing Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets. Despite this, Rodriguez is still considered a valuable asset to Betis, who have struggled financially in recent years.
Barcelona, who recently had their viability plan approved by La Liga, are looking to generate funds through player sales and sell-on clauses before they can make new signings. While Rodriguez may not be a target for the club at this time, they will likely continue to search for a suitable replacement for Busquets as they look to rebuild their squad for the upcoming season.
