WEST HAM JUST ANNOUNCED THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN CLUBS AS WORLD CUP WINNER AGREED TO JOIN CLUB,JET TRACKED DOWN FOR MEDICAL.

Midfielder has agreed to join West Ham in rapid transfer – Medical expected in next few days

Midfielder Guido Rodríguez is one step away from joining West Ham United after they accepted his contract demands.

That’s according to journalist Yağız Sabuncuoğlu and TyC Sports, who both say the midfielder is close to finalising a move to West Ham this summer.

Sabuncuoğlu reported earlier today that West Ham were one of three sides to make a contract offer to the free agent in the last 48 hours and that his agent was negotiating with two other clubs.
He now updates on the matter and says West Ham have accepted the contract terms demanded by the player and will now hold a final meeting with his representatives to finalise the transfer. He has made them his first choice.

TyC go one step further, reporting that Rodríguez is ‘one step away’ from making the move to West Ham.

They say that the midfielder has ‘everything agreed’ with West Ham on a verbal basis and it is expected that he will undergo a medical in the coming days before then signing a deal until 2027.

West Ham are one of three teams to have made a recent approach to free agent midfielder Guido Rodriguez, Sports Digitale reports.

According to the Turkish outlet via X on 2 August the Hammers have been in contact with the Argentine in the past 48 hours alongside Istanbul giants Fenerbahce and the player’s former side Real Betis.

The World Cup winner has had “official” advances from all three after his contract expired with the Spanish club this summer.

The Hammers are also on the brink of sealing a deal for Leeds United winger Crysencio Summerville [Graham Smyth, 2 August] and are also working on a new striker.

West Ham also look to land Niclas Fullkrug

In response to a frustrating stretch where the number of transfer failures were outnumbering the successes the sudden explosion of intent should get fans re-engaged in the operation under Tim Steidten and Julen Lopetegui.

Despite the welcome arrivals of Luis Guilherme and the manager’s former favourite at Wolves Max Kilman a thin squad still requires fleshing out in various areas.

It could easily be argued that the need for a striker outweighs all other priorities so the fact that there still appears to be wrangling over Borussia Dortmund’s Niclas Fullkrug and Aston Villa’s Jhon Duran is frustrating [Florian Plettenberg, 1 August].

But if Dutch winger Summerville is in within hours and Steidten can push a deal for the German striker over the line, then Aaron Wan-Bissaka may finally arrive before a free agent midfielder is quickly brought in as well the entire situation would be looking a lot stronger at the London Stadium.
Rodriguez has 30 caps for Argentina and won the World Cup in Qatar but left Betis this year, so having been allowed to depart it may give the Irons the edge of his former side.
