Time is ticking on James Rodriguez. Having fallen down the pecking order, the Colombian now has only one day to seal a move away from Real Madrid, or he may risk spending a season – or half a campaign – rotting on the bench.
However, fresh reports have emerged offering fresh hope for a Santiago Bernabeu exit. According to El Confidencial, the former Monaco ace’s agent met with Chelsea on Tuesday night to discuss an exit.
New Blues boss Antonio Conte is believed to be a fan of the out-of-favor South American sensation, as Mendes looks to broker a “dignified exit” from Los Blancos.
The Italian boss, who has enjoyed a perfect start to life in the Premier League, dreams of pairing James with Eden Hazard which – in all honesty – could form one of England's deadliest duos in recent years.
However, the London giants' boardroom are not sold on Real Madriddd's valuation. As stated in the report, the Stamford Bridge side are reluctant to meet the Champions League holders’ €70m asking price.
Recent rumors claim Chelsea offered Cesc Fabregas to Zinedine Zidane's crew, a claim that the El Confidencial report corroborates with. Real Madrid, though, weren't interested in the Blues playmaker.
Zidane, Mendes, and fellow team-mates Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcelo have urged with the player to stay in the Spanish capital and fight for his spot in Les Merengues' starting eleven.
