Two Mexican giants teject West Ham’s Guido Rodríguez – transfer links shut down

Guido Rodríguez’s West Ham exit talks have taken a major blow, with both Tigres and Club América officially distancing themselves from a move for the Argentine midfielder.

Reports had suggested that the Liga MX duo were weighing up a summer approach, but sources close to both clubs have now firmly rejected the rumours.

Tigres: “Not Going That Way”

According to Record, Tigres’ board have “categorically denied” any interest in the 30-year-old. An internal source told the outlet:

“He’s a good player, but he’s not going that way.” — Tigres insider via Record

The Mexican side are reportedly focusing on attacking reinforcements, having recently landed Ángel Correa. Rodríguez, despite being available, is not under consideration.

Club América Issue Statement

Meanwhile, Club América have also publicly ruled out a move — despite Rodríguez’s past links to the club. A club board member confirmed:

“He is not a foreign reinforcement we’re looking for.” — América board statement

Rodríguez, who played for América earlier in his career, had been seen as a possible nostalgic return. But the club are now targeting younger midfield profiles.

Record: “Unremarkable” West Ham Spell

Rodríguez’s short spell at West Ham has been described by Record as “unremarkable.” After signing on a free, the Argentine failed to hold down a consistent starting spot under Julen Lopetegui. With limited minutes and no clear suitors in Europe, attention had turned to Mexico — but even that route now appears blocked.

Analyst Verdict

Rodríguez’s value is clear — experienced, combative, and still technically sharp. But clubs like Tigres and América are operating with sharp scouting lenses, and want players who either fit long-term plans or marketing profiles. With Liga MX clubs distancing themselves, West Ham now have a tricky task offloading him this summer.
