James Rodríguez left Real Madrid and completed a move to Everton in September.
Jorge Mendes represents the 29-year-old and the super-agent’s links to Wolves saw his client linked with the Wanderers prior to joining the Toffees.
Wolves are owned by Fosun International Limited and their founder, Guo Guangchang owns a stake in Mendes’ agency.
A report from Colombia in April talked about the Wanderers’ interest in the Colombia international. Three months later, Marca covered Wolves interest in the attacking midfielder and similar claims were also made in the English press.
Nuno Espírito Santo’s side will host Everton in a league tie later today and Rodríguez has regained full fitness to face Wolves.
Colombia’s edition of AS now explains the player could have been representing the home side for today’s clash at Molineux.
It’s claimed Mendes ‘would have tried’ to bring the player to Wolves, but the player’s relationship with Carlo Ancelotti ‘tipped the balance’ in Everton’s favour.
Rodríguez played under Ancelotti at Real Madrid and Bayern Munich before the pair were reunited at Goodison Park in the summer.
