Real Madrid would have set the price for James Rodriguez, a player who is giving what to talk about for his role in the white ensemble and his imminent departure
According to recent information, the Colombian would be ready to leave the Santiago Bernabéu, and he would do so in this signing window.
Many facts are a fact: James will leave Madrid in the summer, doing it after a season to forget in his football career. And, the most important today: it will be sold for an affordable price for large Europeans: less than 50 million euros.
The only fringe to close in the operation is the midfield's fate. Atletico Madrid and Everton are running for his arrival. However, teams such as Manchester United or AC Milan do not hesitate to stay in the bid for the international with Colombia.
Will you make it to Atletico Madrid?
James' favourite destination, as he has already made clear on several occasions, is Atletico Madrid. The mattress club dreams of seeing it in red, as it tried last summer, although without result due to Madrid's position regarding the operation. However, after the Colombian's statements – "I had an offer from a club, but Madrid did not let me go there" – the James Rodríguez-Real Madrid relationship seems broken, this being a favorable factor for the Metropolitan to make their arrival.
Even so, the Madrid club continues to be bent on not letting its player out towards Atleti, with the intention of not reinforcing a direct rival, which has already been strengthened several times at the expense of Zidane's behind the signings of Alvaro Morata, Mario Hermoso and Marcos Llorente.
Florentino's preferred destination for James is Everton, as it would not reinforce a direct opponent and would offer the amount of money they ask for in the White House for the player. This would result in "easily" (because James Rodriguez would have to accept, before, the offer) from a player who, as Valdano has recently stated, has been a disappointment.
We'll see what course an operation takes that, a priori, only has the destination to confirm. And, therefore, the Colombian will choose the destination in which he may have the most minutes. Well, don't play frustrates the player, as he's already mentioned.
