James Rodriguez’s return to Europe takes a disappointing turn. After a good performance with Colombia in the 2024 Copa América, the 33-year-old attacking midfielder agreed to take up the challenge proposed by Rayo Vallecano.
The former Real Madrid member has joined the ranks of the Franjirrojos for a season, marking his return to the Old Continent after more than a year spent at Sao Paulo FC. However, his new adventure in the Spanish capital turns into a nightmare.
An Italian club ticks James’ name
According to Marcathe Cafeteros star is already considering leaving due to his short playing time with the Vallecas residents. Since the start of the season, James has only started once, in a draw against Leganés (1-1). Under coach Iñigo Pérez, he has only accumulated 123 minutes in five La Liga games.
At the same time, the Madrid sports daily reveals the interest of Lazio de Rome. The Italian Serie A club, attentive to the situation of the native of Cúcuta, could consider taking action next summer.
