Real Madrid would put James at a bargain price: his high salary forces him | Colombians Abroad

The search has only just begun, the transfer market in Europe has just opened and it is early to assure that James Rodríguez is not an easy player to hire in this window.

It is true that his great illusion of reaching Atlético de Madrid, to which the president of the club himself lowered his thumb, no longer seems as viable as a year ago, when there was interest and offer on the table. But nothing is final when two months of the summer window remain.

What does seem clear is that the covid-19 coronavirus pandemic will greatly limit the possibility of a signing with many zeros to the right for players who, like the Colombian, have an important price, of at least 35 million euros, plus a high salary, which is around 8 million per season. That is a specific limitation.

The situation of the player, which does not count for Real Madrid coach, Zinedine Zidane, is pressing as both yearn for a quick exit from their disagreements. He is the only one who is in that situation of ‘invisibility’ for the Frenchman who really wants to leave, since neither Bale, with his 20 million a year, nor Mariano, who knows that he will not earn 5 million euros per season anywhere else in the world. world, they want to give their arm to twist. To maintain their status they have no problem if they do not play. Respectable, but it is not the case of the southpaw, who wants revenge.

Faced with this scenario, according to the Sport de Barcelona newspaper, Florentino Pérez considered an unorthodox, but profitable exit: “Real Madrid has no choice but to release these two burdens and that economically implies about 50 million euros gross per season … So it is the ideal occasion for the clubs that love these players to sit down and offer low offers, especially when they must reward what they do not pay with the token to the players. “

The source assures that, without the anticipated income from box office and sponsorships, a man like James will be on sale: he only has one year left on his contract, he could negotiate freely in January at zero cost and that is very, very attractive, for a player with his quality, even if he is already 29 years old. Without a doubt, a great business opportunity.

It will be necessary to see who signs up, because Manchester United continues without giving concrete signals, there is no public interest from Arsenal and PSG, the last team to which Jorge Mendes would have offered it, works on other priorities They are not closed doors, but fate could be in another direction.
