Arsenal are interested in one of the best Betis midfielders, and in this market, they will seek to sign him anyway, they are even willing to add Thomas Partey to the payment. The Spanish coach knows that the work shown by the Ghanaian has not been the most outstanding and that his presence in the starting eleven is not so important.
In their place, they have found the perfect relay that combines power with vision of the game, intelligence with efficiency, and above all a lot of attack volume. Considered one of the pillars of the Betic midfield, Guido Rodriguez is Arsenal's new target. Arteta has asked him as the top player and the gear he needs for the tactical performance of his team.
The English club is in a somewhat complicated situation with its offensive midfield. Mikel Arteta considers that his troops in that area of the field are not well coupled and he needs another figure. For both the coaching staff and the Gunner managers, Guido Rodriguez is the right man for the role that the Spanish coach requires.
The English club is willing to pay anything to get the Argentine's pass even giving Partey as part of the payment. The funny thing is that the Ghanaian has a higher price than Guido himself. However, Arsenal is aware of this and will advance in the operation if the final result is the player's pass today at the service of Betis. Betis are not interested in Thomas, nor are they interested in selling Guido Rodriguez, Arsenal will activate plan B
The red team has proposed to have the signing of the Argentine pivot at any place, and within its plan a rejection by the Betic club was contemplated. Faced with this scenario, Arsenal has considered paying the release clause. However, the English team could obtain Guido's services at a lower price.
Given the extreme economic situation caused by the pandemic worldwide, and of which Betis is no stranger, the player could leave the Sevillian entity for a lot of money. A more than positive figure for the coffers of the Betic table. However, for Pellegrini it will be a very strong blow in his tactical scheme and he will have to find his replacement as soon as possible.
