“What if I go back to Real Madrid? No, I don't think so. It is a closed cycle now, which will not be repeated again”. This is how James Rodríguez responded seriously to a follower on his Twitch channel, a platform where he left several messages about his present and future.
Although the option of a third stage for James in Madrid has not sounded much in this market, the presence of Carlo Ancelotti in the white club could have brought some surprise in this regard. The Italian coach made him shine in the 2014/15 season, then took him to Bayern Munich, then insisted on him at Napoli and last year convinced him to join Everton.
With your statement this Friday, The Colombian thus closed any possibility or rumor that could link him with the white team or with Ancelotti. He is not interested in returning and surely the club neither. His time there is past and now he focuses on finding a place where they “want him”, his future at Everton is not assured after the arrival of Rafa Benítez, with whom the player does not have a good relationship. “I do not know where I am going to go, where they want me, one has to be where they want one, or else it may well go“said the midfielder.
Will your next step be Serie A?
James, who has a contract with the Toffees through June 2022, noted that at some point in his career he would like to experiment in Italian football, he wants to be the only Colombian to have played in the six major leagues in Europe: Portugal, France, Spain, Germany, England and Italy.
“” What league would I like to play in? I don't know, where they want me. I already played in all of them, I am missing Italy, but I don't know, it would be a good option, but in the future I don't know if it will happen. Italy is still missing, it would be good to make that record, “he commented.
The only Italian team that James has been associated with in recent months is Milan, it was said from there that his agent, Jorge Mendes, offered it to the leadership, exactly to Paolo Maldini, the club's sports director. That rumor has been extinguished with the passing of days, but there is exactly one month left until the market closes, what will be the next destination of the '10'?
