75 million euros, which Real Madrid paid for James Rodriguez in the summer of 2014, is considering leaving - the Colombian is not satisfied with the playing time he receives and will seriously consider the possibility of leaving the capital's team as early as this January.
The 25-year-old midfielder was a real discovery for Real Madrid in the 2014-15 season - he scored 17 goals and made 18 assists. However, after Zinedine Zidane took over the club, the Colombian lost his place in the starting lineup and has had very little chance to perform since the middle of last season.
After the FIFA Club World Cup final, where he didn't appear on the field, J. Rodriguez said: "I can't confirm that I will stay in Madrid. I'm disappointed that I didn't play in the final, but I'm glad to have won my 15th trophy in my career."
"Not everything is going as I would like. I have received offers and I have seven days to think about it. I want to stay at Real Madrid, but I have to consider other options (in terms of playing time). I'm not sure what will happen later, but I want to play more.
If I don't get chances in the Real team, I will have to think about leaving," concluded J. Rodriguez, who recently said he was happy in Madrid.
Despite receiving little playing time, J. Rodriguez managed to make nine assists and score two goals in 16 games this season.
It is believed that two London clubs - Chelsea and Arsenal - will be interested in signing J. Rodriguez this winter.
