£12 million West Ham player wants to rejoin his former club because he’s in love with their fans

One West Ham United player seems to be almost certain to leave the club this summer.

There will be a huge turnover of players at the London Stadium in the summer transfer window, with Graham Potter eyeing up numerous new signings for West Ham.

Many will be leaving the club as well as the Hammers head coach begins his huge squad revamp.

The West Ham squad is a terribly unbalanced and ageing one.

That all has to change this summer, if we are to make genuine progress with Potter at the helm.

The good news is that there are plenty of reports doing the rounds about some of the deadwood being moved on from the club during the off-season.

Guido Rodriguez wants to leave West Ham to rejoin former club

So it seems like Guido Rodriguez won’t be at West Ham for much longer.

That’s because W Deportes are claiming that he would like a second stint with Club America in Mexico.

It has been claimed that West Ham will demand around £12 million for Guido Rodriguez this summer.

And the Hammers owners are said to be desperate to get the 30-year-old off the books at the London Stadium.

It’s little wonder as to why. He has been truly awful for West Ham since joining us on a free transfer eight months ago.

The Hammers fans quickly grew tired of the Argentina international’s lacklustre displays, and he’s certainly not a popular figure in East London.

However, the complete opposite is obviously true out in Mexico with Club America.

West Ham biting off their nose to spite their face with Guido Rodriguez?

Obviously I want Rodriguez gone as soon as possible.

He’s painfully ill-suited to the robust and intense nature of Premier League football, and the sooner he’s gone the better for everyone concerned.

However, I think West Ham could be biting off their nose to spite their face by demanding too much for him.

If it was up to me, I’d be happy to release Guido Rodriguez from his West Ham contract for nothing.

The hammers signed him on a free transfer, so getting any kind of fee for him will represent a big profit for us.

I just hope that the owners don’t price the South American out of a move this summer.
