"James Rodriguez's comments after the FIFA Club World Cup final caused quite a stir in the media.
The 25-year-old Colombian expressed dissatisfaction with the current situation at Real Madrid and stated that due to the lack of playing time, he is considering leaving the "white" team as early as this January.
Rumors of a new chapter in J. Rodriguez's career began to spread in the media. Among the contenders is Juventus, whose director Giuseppe Marotta does not rule out this possibility.
"It will depend on what we can afford during the transfer window," said G. Marotta about the potential acquisition of J. Rodriguez.
"We need to maintain a balance, but Juventus wants to establish itself among the best clubs in the world. Four years ago, we could not afford the amounts of money we have spent on acquiring Higuain or Pjanic. Now we can and we do not want to stop.
This was greatly facilitated by President Andrea Agnelli, who has given us the opportunity to make significant investments in sports. We definitely want to continue this journey," concluded the Juventus general director.
Among the candidates to acquire J. Rodriguez are also mentioned the clubs Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain. It is believed that Real could agree to sell the Colombian for around 70 million euros."
