Villarreal is interested in Guido Rodríguez, a 32-year-old Argentine defensive midfielder. He returned to La Liga in January to join Valencia from West Ham, where he had limited playing time. For manager Corberán, he became a regular starter, providing balance to the team and scoring four goals in four months, which is his best goalscoring contribution in Europe. As his contract at Valencia is ending, the club cannot offer him a satisfactory amount. At Villarreal, his situation is being compared to Dani Parejo's arrival in the summer of 2020. During that period, Valencia's view of Parejo's salary as an obstacle to the budget reduction sought by Peter Lim facilitated his move. The midfielder has 30 caps and one goal for Argentina. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €5.00m.
