After having experienced some rather complicated last months on the Sao Paulo side, James Rodriguez will soon be returning to European pitches. The former Real Madrid player (2014 to 2020) will be making his return to the Spanish capital, but this time to Rayo Vallecano. The president of Rayo, in an interview on the show The Party on the COPE chainexpressed his pride and enthusiasm to welcome the Colombian.
” It’s an honor to enjoy a player like him, he’s at the zenith of his career. He just won the Copa America MVP title a month ago, ahead of Messi. ” explained Raúl Martín Presa. The president of the Madrid club did not hesitate to compare his new recruit to another Argentine, equally illustrious: Diego Maradona. ” I put it on the same level as when newly promoted Napoli signed Diego Armando Maradona. At the time, they were a modest team, although today they are a great team. The same thing happened today when a club like Rayo was able to sign a player like James, who was the best player in the Copa América. ” he added.
