James Rodríguez is no longer a regular at Real Madrid and reports coming out of Spain have explained the 13-time European champions are looking to offload him in the summer.
Two days ago, we carried a report from AS, who suggested that Manchester United are one of the clubs who have ‘already taken an interest’ in the Colombia international’s situation with the La Liga side.
It wasn’t explained whether the 28-year-old will leave Real Madrid on a loan deal or a permanent transfer in the next transfer window.
Calciomercato.it have now come up with the latest update on the type of the deal and also mention the clubs interested in the player.
When talking about suitors, the Italian website claims there is Manchester United, who have long been ‘one of the historical fans’ of the South American.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, want to get rid of him because they can save €7m net in wages, which is deemed ‘too much’ for a player who has hardly featured this season.
Zinedine Zidane’s side demanded €40m for Rodríguez last summer, but with a contract until 2021, Calciomercato.it states Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez will be satisfied with ‘less than €30m’.
Whether Rodríguez will join Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side or another club remains to be seen.
