What’s the story?
James Rodriguez' future is still undecided and with the Colombian on International duty, it's going to take longer. Real Madrid are keen on closing the transfer as they want to start concentrating on their targets.
AS are now reporting that Los Blancos are considering Chelsea's £65 million offer for the forward and are willing to let him join them. The Blues' are now waiting for the player to accept personal terms.
In case you didn’t know...
Chelsea tried to sign James Rodriguez in January as well. Antonio Conte was keen on spending the £60 million he got from Oscar's sale to ChiNa.
Real Madrid were not willing to let go of him as they had a transfer ban that time. They could not sign a replacement that window and with the club chasing the league title, they did not want to weaken the squad.
Despite being at Madrid the whole season, he played just 1498 minutes! However, he scored 11 goals and assisted eight when he got the chance. He ended the season with 2 titles - La Liga and Champions League - but wants to leave to secure more match time.
The heart of the matter
Real Madrid are ready to let go ofJames Rodriguez in the summer and are considering offers. Bayern Munich, Chelsea and Manchester United were the top clubs interested in signing the Colombian while Juventus were also keeping an eye on him.
