The defensive midfielder’s contract expires next summer, which means he might be offered at a discount, according to the most recent Nottingham Forest transfer news.
According to rumours in Spain, Nottingham Forest may renew its interest in Real Betis midfielder Guido Rodriguez when the transfer window opens in January. However, Barcelona may be a stronger rival.
The Reds had a busy last day of the summer window, adding seven new players to their roster. 11 new players joined Steve Cooper’s team overall over the summer, but they won’t be making their club debuts until the next weekend.
After the summer transfer window closes, attention will start shifting to the potential deals that could be made when it reopens in January. Rodriguez’s probable transfer is already in Forest’s sights, according to Estadio Deportivo.
In the summer, Forest was rumored to be interested in the player, but it was claimed that the player was committed to staying at Betis since he did not want to uproot his family when his wife was expecting. It is unknown if his position will have altered by the time of the January window.
But if he doesn’t sign a new one, the midfielder’s contract will only be valid for another six months at that point. It indicates that the Spanish club is reportedly inclined to allow him to.
According to the source, Betis is prepared to extend the player a new contract with an increased income and a release clause that will take effect in the coming summer.
According to the rumors, Forest and Barcelona ‘may return’ for the player in the winter. However, it is also stated that regardless of whether he signs a new deal or not, Rodriguez intends to remain at Betis through the summer.
Last season, the 29-year-old played 44 times in all, making seven Europa League matches. He primarily served as a defensive midfielder, however he was occasionally moved into the center of the field.
