Barcelona have ‘completely ruled out’ the signing of 29-year-old World Cup winner – report

Barcelona strengthened their midfield department during the summer transfer window with the double signing of Ilkay Gundogan and Oriol Romeu.

However, reports over the past month have suggested that the club may seek additional reinforcements in the middle of the pitch, particularly in the pivot position, in order to provide additional cover.

As a result, Real Betis midfielder Guido Rodriguez, who is in the final year of his contract at the Benito Villamarin, has been mentioned as a potential target.JAMB Result

According to Javi Miguel of AS, Barcelona has ‘absolutely ruled out’ signing Guido Rodriguez at this time.

The Argentine international had been on Xavi and Barcelona’s radar since the summer as a potential midfield reinforcement.JAMB Portal

Given that his contract expires in June 2024, the defensive midfielder could be acquired for free in the summer of 2023 or for a reduced fee in January.

This, combined with Rodriguez’s experience and track record in La Liga, made him an attractive option for the Catalan heavyweights.informationguidenigeria

However, it appears that the option is no longer being contemplated, if the report from Javi Miguel is to go by.

Oriol Romeu has gotten off to a strong start as a Barcelona player and has produced respectable performances as the club’s first-choice defensive midfielder.

Xavi could also rely on Ilkay Gundogan and Frenkie de Jong for the position, although the latter is out until early November due to injury.NYSC Portal

Sergi Roberto has also filled this position in the past, while Xavi could always turn to the academy and promote a player like Marc Casado, who has the manager’s confidence.

As a result, it appears that Guido Rodriguez will not be traded at this time.
