West Ham's Guido Rodríguez, 31, was one of two Premier League players offered to Palmeiras, alongside Nicolás Dominguez of Nottingham Forest. Before pursuing a new transfer, Palmeiras' football department intends to observe how 17-year-old Luís Pacheco performs in the first semester. Should a new signing be needed, the target is expected to be Guido Rodríguez, a 2022 World Cup winner with Argentina who is nearing the end of his contract and free to sign a pre-contract. Juventus and Ajax have also shown interest in the midfielder.
ESPN reported that Rodríguez's salary is 75,000 pounds per week. West Ham considers this figure high, and the English club is reportedly favorable to the possibility of the player leaving. The Argentine has played 252 minutes in six matches this season, with no goals or assists. Rodríguez, who has 30 caps and 1 goal for his country, joined West Ham from Real Betis on a free transfer in August 2024. His current Transfermarkt market value is €6.00m. Reports from January 2026 suggest a potential transfer would cost no more than €10 million.
