As the transfer market opens this summer in Europe, one of the players most likely to move is Colombian star James Rodriguez of Real Madrid. The former Porto and Monaco man never really settled in at Madrid but his ability has shown from time to time and he could be a starting superstar for some big boys in Europe. The two clubs that seem to be the most connected with him are PSG and Manchester United, and it looks like the French champions are the favorite.
Looking for more fire power in attack after Zlatan Ibrahimovic's departure, PSG is set to make a 'mega offer' for the player, per AS.
The Spanish publication said PSG is willing to pay more than $90 million for the 24-year-old, a little bit more than what Real Madrid is believed to have paid Monaco for him after the 2014 World Cup.
James has scored 25 goals in 78 games, but injuries and Zinedine Zidane's preference of a midfield with Toni Kroos and Luca Modric, with no spot open in attack for James, has seen him not play as much as expected. Since April 2, Real Madrid played 11 matches, and he has started just four, while being an unused substitute in three.
The price does seem awfully high for the player, but in this day and age of soccer spending and him being just 24 years old, maybe PSG actually spends it. If so, it would be a nice bit of business for Real Madrid and would allow the team to have extra funds for its next superstar target.
