Reports Link Juventus to January Loan for West Ham’s Guido Rodríguez and Move for Real Madrid’s Gonzalo García
Juventus aim to add low-cost cover in January to preserve funds for a summer bid for Sandro Tonali.
Overview
- Sky Sport Italia’s Gianluca Di Marzio reports Juventus are exploring a January loan for 31-year-old Guido Rodríguez to keep budget and roster flexibility for a Tonali pursuit in June.
- Multiple outlets say a deep-lying midfielder is the club’s priority this window to ease reliance on Manuel Locatelli and Khephren Thuram.
- Rodríguez has made only five Premier League appearances for West Ham this season, with a contract running to 2026 that could facilitate a low-cost loan.
- Real Madrid forward Gonzalo García, 21, is being considered as a cost-effective deputy for Kenan Yildiz, according to the same reports.
- Any García deal could mirror the ‘Nico Paz’ model with a loan and option or a permanent move including a Madrid buy-back clause, and no agreements have been reached.
