Newcastle United, Everton and Wolverhampton Wanderers could be disappointed in their reported quest to sign James Rodriguez from Real Madrid in the summer transfer window.
According to Caracol, Newcastle are interested in the Colombia international, while Marca has claimed that Everton and Wolves want to secure the services of the attacking midfielder.
The 28-year-old, who can also operate as a winger, has struggled for playing time at Madrid so far this season, and one should not be surprised if the Spanish and European giants decide to sell him this summer.
However, it seems that James does not want to leave the Spanish capital and wants to play for Atletico Madrid.
According to Onda Cero, the 28-year-old loves it in Madrid and wants to make the transfer to Atletico.
However, according to the report, the former FC Porto and AS Monaco star’s annual salary of €8 million (£7.13 million) net is too much for Atletico.
According to WhoScored, James has scored one goal and provided one assist in seven La Liga matches and has played 81 minutes in the Champions League for Madrid so far this season.
Football in England and Spain is suspended at the moment due to the global health crisis.
