Rumors have spread in the English media that London's Chelsea club has cast their nets on Madrid's Real to secure James Rodriguez.
According to reports, the new "Blues" team coach Guus Hiddink inquired the club about the possibility of attracting the Colombian national team star, who is not shining this season as he did under Carlo Ancelotti.
It is claimed that there are not very warm relations between J. Rodriguez and Real coach Rafael Benitez. The Colombian has returned to the starting lineup, but his role in the team is not the same as it was last season, which leads to speculation about a possible desire to leave.
However, the biggest obstacle could be the transfer fee. In 2014, "Real" paid about 80 million euros for the shining star of the World Cup, so the price should remain similar.
J. Rodriguez has played 10 matches this season and scored three goals.
