Carlo Ancelotti wants to bring Real Madrid’s James Rodriguez to Bayern Munich and, according to a report in Colombia, “an offer will be coming over the next few hours.”
Javier Hernandez Bonnet, sports director for Colombia’s Caracol TV, said on Monday that Ancelotti wants to reinforce Bayern’s squad with Rodriguez, a player he managed to great effect in La Liga, where the Colombia international scored 17 goals and set up 18 more in 46 appearances.
Rodriguez, who has also been linked with Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea, is said to be desperate to leave because of the imminent arrival of Dani Ceballos from Real Betis. That could leave him behind Isco, Marco Asensio and Ceballos in Zinedine Zidane’s squad.
“James Rodriguez will not stay at Real Madrid. There has been a complete turn of events, he is actually closer to Bayern Munich than to Paris Saint-Germain,” Hernandez Bonnet told Blu Radio in Colombia.
