James Rodriguez Supported by his Father to Join Juventus

Recently Cristiano Ronaldo reportedly contacted James Rodriguez to join him at Juventus. James’ father, Rodriguez Senior, reportedly blessed James if he chose to reunite with Ronaldo at Juventus.

James is currently playing at Bayern Munich in his second season as a Real Madrid loan player. Bayern have a permanent buying option from Madrid. However, seeing the situation of James at Niko Kovac’s Bayern at the moment, little chance the club made him as a permanent player.

The Colombian attacking midfielder has only appeared 14 times in all competitions and scored three goals. Joining Juve and reuniting with his friend Ronaldo could be a realistic option for the 27-year-old player.

“He (James) has a lot of offers. He is a good friend with Cristiano. The way I see Italian football now, moving (to Juventus) will be a good decision,” said Rodriguez as reported by the Goal.

“We are both professionals, the relationship (James with Kovac) is currently normal between players and coaches. Until then, there are still four months left and I only think of Bayern at the moment,” he continued.

Being in the prime age of European footballers and quite experienced at club and international levels, James is still a hot commodity in the player transfer market. Packaging 68 caps and 22 goals with the Colombian national team once had won two Champions League titles with Madrid.
