Report: West Ham player seeks exit before 11 pm tomorrow.
InfoRealBetis: Guido Rodriguez seeks West Ham exit before 3 February transfer deadline.
Spanish outlet reports (1 February) that Guido Rodriguez has been pushing for a return to Real Betis, but the La Liga club is not considering a move at this time.
The 2022 World Cup winner wants to leave West Ham, but with only a day and a half until the 11 pm deadline on 3 February, his situation remains complicated.
Despite his struggles at the London Stadium, West Ham cannot afford to let Rodriguez leave.
Graham Potter relies on Edson Alvarez and Tomas Soucek in midfield, but injuries could leave the team short on options.
Beyond young Lewis Orford, the squad lacks sufficient cover in defensive midfield.
Given the tight deadline, West Ham would struggle to find a replacement in time.
A summer transfer would be a more sensible approach rather than allowing Rodriguez to leave now without a backup plan.
Although the Argentine is keen to depart, letting him go before the deadline could be a mistake for the Hammers.
