World Cup winner responds to Barcelona transfer speculation
Recent reports claim that the Catalan giants are making progress in their pursuit of the 30-year-old, who will see his contract at Betis expire at the end of the season.
After three years in Mexico with Club America, Rodriguez moved to Europe to join Betis in 2020 and has since established himself as a key player for the Spanish outfit.
The deep-lying midfielder has made a total of 170 appearances for Betis across all competitions, including 21 La Liga outings so far this season.
Rodriguez most recently played in a 1-1 draw with city rivals Sevilla on Sunday, leaving Manuel Pellegrini's side seventh in the table and just two points behind the top six with five games remaining.
Rodriguez «very happy» at Betis amid Barca linksRodriguez, a 29-cap Argentina international who won the 2022 World Cup, has allegedly been identified by Barcelona as a potential replacement for Oriol Romeu, who has struggled for regular game time under head coach Xavi.
Despite those links with Barca, Rodriguez has insisted that he is «very happy» at Betis and neither he or the club have made a decision over his future.
«I feel at home at Betis. I feel very comfortable here, I'm very happy.» Rodriguez told reporters as quoted by 90min. «I've been here for four and a half years and the truth is that I'm happy, very happy and enjoying these last remaining games of the season.

«There is not a single option on which my decision depends.
