Betic midfielder Guido Rodríguez is the first name Atlético de Madrid have in the portfolio should an offer from Saudi Arabia’s Al Ahli for Rodrigo de Paul materialize. Diego Simeone has long requested the signing of Guido for Atlético -contacts that the footballer himself admitted- and this could come true in the latter part of this market.
Journalist Fabrizio Romano, an expert on the ‘mercato’, revealed that Al Ahli has started talks with Atlético to acquire Rodrigo de Paul, 29, who is the same age as his teammate and world champion in the Argentine team who Guido Rodriguez, who has only one year left on his contract with Real Betis, where he has so far not reached an agreement for its renewal, so the Verdiblanco club is ready to listen to offers starting at 12 million euros , as reported a few days ago in the emissaries of Olympique de Lyon.
A few days ago, Betis rejected an offer of 7.5 million from Nottingham Forest for the transfer of Guido, with the English club offering a salary that more than triples what he currently receives.
On the occasion of Real Betis – Atlético this Sunday in Benito Villamarín, the name of Guido Rodríguez was present in the conversations between the representatives of both clubs. If De Paul were to be sold, Atlético would not do so for less than the 35 million euros they paid Udinese two years ago.
