Arsenal have been joined by Liverpool FC in the race for Real Betis star Guido Rodriguez as the battle to land the Argentine international begins to heat up ahead of the mid-year transfer window.
Rodriguez has become a much-courted name in the market of late on the back of his impressive spell holding the midfield area for Real Betis and reports suggest that the 26-year-old could be set to seal a move to England this summer.
According to claims from Estadio Deportivo, the defensive midfielder is being tracked by the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool FC as both Premier League heavyweights seek to bolster their options in the middle of the pitch just in time for the 2021-22 campaign.
Liverpool FC’s demand for midfield alternatives could be factored down to the Gini Wijnaldum saga currently underway at Anfield with the long-serving first-team regular looking increasingly certain to call it quits in the Reds shirt.
FC Barcelona remain in pole position to land the Holland international should he decide against signing on extended terms with Jurgen Klopp’s side beyond the forthcoming summer.
