Juventus and Manchester United advance on James Rodriguez

If buying is going to be difficult for some clubs given the recession that will hit world football after the coronavirus crisis, selling will also become very difficult. One thinks in particular of the Olympique de Marseille, which intended to part with a few elements to restore its accounts and return to the good graces of the European Union of Football Associations (UEFA) and its financial fair play. But larger clubs are also in doubt.

This is particularly the case of Real Madrid, which intends to part with a few elements. Gareth Bale, James Rodriguez, Lucas Vazquez, Marcelo, Brahim Diaz, Mariano, Dani Ceballos and Jesus Vallejo are all on the transfer list for next summer. For the Welshman, the situation is very complicated, as we explained to you this Saturday since the former Tottenham does not intend to make any gift to its president, Florentino Pérez.

Manchester United aims high

For the others, it’s obviously different. Given their respective seasons, they are of course ready to leave their place in the Spanish capital. This is particularly the case of the Colombian James Rodriguez, who returned from a two-year loan from Bayern Munich last summer and who does not really have the favors of his trainer, Zinedine Zidane, who only used it seven times in the Spanish championship, including four small tenure since the start of the season.

We learned, also this Saturday, that Jorge Mendes was chatting with certain clubs in England and Italy and this Sunday, we know the identity of the aforementioned teams. According to information from Ace, it would be none other than Juventus Turin, always fond of good deals, and Manchester United, which intends to rebuild itself after many struggling seasons. It now remains to know the intentions of the player.
