They said he had a better left foot than Messi, karma hits him and he doesn't have a job, nobody wants him

There are not so many cases of players who have worn the shirts of Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid within the same career. To that reduced list of privileges could be added a South American soccer star who, while in the merengue, wanted to leave to look for minutes in the mattress team, something that was cut short.

In an interview given to WinSports TV, the Colombian James Rodríguez said that both Atlético de Madrid and Diego Simeone wanted him to join the rojiblanco cast. The offensive midfielder had no minutes at Real Madrid or continuity at the White House and wanted to leave to film.

Beyond the firm intention of James Rodríguez, at Real Madrid they automatically gave up on the possibility and the Colombian attacking midfielder ended up going through the club's back door. According to his words, to this day he regrets having lost the opportunity to be part of Cholo's project.

The present of James Rodríguez

After leaving Real Madrid, James Rodríguez played for Everton in England, Bayern Munich in Germany, Greece and Qatar but is currently unemployed. His last experience was at Olympiakos, where he ended up transcending his relationship and leaving before the end of his contract. Today he is looking for a club.
