Napoli Gives Diego Maradona’s Back Number to James Rodriguez

DBasia.news –  Napoli has really done various ways to recruit Colombian midfielder, James Rodriguez, from Real Madrid.

James, 27, returned to Madrid after his two-season loan spell ended at Bayern Munich. The German club had the option to make the contract permanent at a price of 42 million euros, but James asked the club not to do so

His playing chance in Madrid was thinning as Zinedine Zidane had returned to training El Real. Zidane rarely gives a chance for James to play. Inevitably the issue of the transfer is increasingly circulating and reportedly only two teams are eyeing him now: Juventus and Napoli.

James can reunite with Cristiano Ronaldo if he joins the Bianconeri. While if he chooses Napoli, then James will be trained by his former coach in Madrid and Bayern, Carlo Ancelotti. The coach knows how to maximize his best potential.

The problem is that Madrid only wants to sell him permanently for 50 million euros. While Napoli only offered a loan of 10 million euros plus 30 million euros if redeeming the permanent option at the end of the contract.

According to US news, Napoli has a new way to tempt James Rodriguez to San Paolo. The method is to give the retired iconic number 10 alias no longer in use since 2000 as a form of appreciation to Diego Maradona.

The Argentine football icon has made history for seven years to strengthen Napoli (1984-1991). Maradona was loved by the people of Naples and became an idol legend as he has given two Scudetto, one Coppa Italia, UEFA Cup (Europa League) and Italian Super Cup.

President of Naples, Aurelio De Laurentiis, also allegedly saw James as the right player to wear the number 10. In fact, the film’s producer also reportedly prepared a large presentation just like Maradona if he successfully recruited James.

Ex-FC Porto and AS Monaco players can present fantasy games in Napoli’s midfield. Through accurate creativity, vision and operand, James can be a motor for attack in the midfield.

James Rodriguez’s chane to head to Napoli: 75%

Napoli’s persistence in recruiting James Rodriguez can make his transfer come true. The player will not mind being trained by Ancelotti. Now, there is only a matter of time in waiting for the end of the negotiations between Madrid and Naples.
