DBasia.news – Atletico Madrid are rumored to be immediately trying to bring in Real Madrid’s attacking midfielder James Rodriguez if their attacker, Antoine Griezmann, is sold this summer.
Antoine Griezmann is reportedly one step away from joining Barcelona. The World Cup winner will be redeemed with a fund of 125 million euros or according to the player’s release clause.
Later, Atletico will use the proceeds from Griezmann’s sale to get James Rodriguez. The transfer has received approval from Diego Simeone.
Currently, James Rodriguez’s future at Real Madrid is still a question mark. Because, Los Blancos coach, Zinedine Zidane reportedly did not need the Colombian national team player’s energy.
Indeed, James Rodriguez was very close to joining Napoli. Carlo Ancelotti as Napoli architect wants to be reunited with his former foster children.
However, the negotiation process between Real Madrid and Napoli still encounters a winding road. Both clubs have not agreed on the value of James Rodriguez.
Previously, Atletico Madrid had spent 120 million euros to get Benfica player Joao Felix. The Portuguese national team player is expected to be Atletico’s support on the front lines.
