Guido Rodríguez transfer to River Plate, Digi Mart USA News: Guido Rodríguez is reportedly on the verge of a significant change in his career. After several years in Europe, where he wore the shirts of Real Betis, West Ham and Valencia, the Argentine midfielder is preparing to leave the Old Continent and return to this side of the Atlantic.
América was the club that opened the door to major leagues for him when no one else was doing so, and his spell at Coapa remains a key chapter in his career. The 32-year-old midfielder had already shown his discontent at Valencia, where he publicly criticized the approach of coach Javier Aguirre.
That situation suggested an imminent exit, and according to Radio Continental, negotiations are now advancing for a change of scenery in 2027.
The return to the continent appears imminent, and many América supporters began to hope for a reunion. However, the reality is different.
According to the report, Rodríguez would not return to the Águilas or to Liga MX. His new club would be River Plate, the team that saw him develop as a footballer, where he made his professional debut and took his first steps before reaching the Argentina national team.
River Plate is set to lose Fausto Vera when his contract expires and is seeking an experienced Argentine to fill that role. Rodríguez is reported to be the ideal candidate.
The midfielder would thus return to the Argentine league to compete for new titles, close to his family and in a comfort zone he knows well. At 32, the margin for a second spell at América is shrinking, and everything indicates that a reunion with the club that launched him to Europe will not happen.
River Plate appears to be his next home.
