Barcelona confident of securing signature of veteran midfielder this summer
Barcelona are in talks to secure the signing of Real Betis midfielder Guido Rodriguez, as they begin to move forward with planning for the summer transfer window, having decided to plough ahead with Xavi Hernandez next season.
The 30-year-old Argentine has been linked with Barcelona over the course of the last two years, and having failed to reach an agreement with Betis over a new deal, is available for free this summer. Barcelona have opened talks with the Argentine, having been offered him by his agent in early April.
