The 'James case', increasingly similar to Coutinho's one

The FC Barcelona has a marked plan for the exit of Philippe Coutinho. It weigh that the Brazilian footballer is in the market and is fully transferible, the Catalan club commissions to deny officially that they listen offers by the Brazilian midfield player. Maybe to try that the teams do not launch offers to the drop knowing the need that there is to sell.

A very similar case is the one of James Rodríguez in the Real Madrid. The whites do not pronounce publicly about the situation of the mediapunta Colombian, that does not go in in the plans of Zinedine Zidane. By him they will listen important offers that can report profits to the white arks, but in no case says openly that is in the market.

Until the moment, there are two teams interested in the signing of James: the Naples and the Athletic of Madrid. The problem is that, by what seems, what both are had to offer economically is very underneath of what would satisfy to the entity chaired by Florentino Pérez, that would want to take out between 70 and 80 millions but could have to conform with 40-50.

Miguel Ángel Gil Marín, adviser delegated of the Athletic of Madrid, recognised the interest. "I know that to many athletic would like them. It has evidence that me to our technician likes him. It has evidence that me James does not want to continue in the Real Madrid. It has evidence that me the Real Madrid does not want that he continue, but have to give a lot of circumstances so that it could be possible. It would be very beautiful", said.

Also on the possible signing pronounced Carlo Ancelotti, trainer of the Naples and main valedor of the mediapunta Colombian in the Italian team. "I am not optimistic neither pessimistic, is between the players that interest us: we will see what occurs, that still is missing a month" , said, on the signing of a footballer that was key for him in Real Madrid and Bayern.

Opposite case to the of Bleat

It seems that the Real Madrid has wanted to adopt with James Rodríguez the opposite strategy to the carried out by Gareth Bleat​. Zidane recognised publicly that his wish is that the Welsh leave what before, something that maybe did that the teams posed offers to the drop knowing the need to sell and his unsustainable situation.
