James Rodríguez and Falcao are on vacation in Miami. They will meet? Surely, they are close friends and that was not changed by the distance or the sporting reality of the two.
It is possible that they will have time to talk there, that ‘El Tigre’ can tell him about his experience in a small but warrior club in Spain, his commitment to recover level in one of the big leagues in Europe, beyond the fact that he is not disputing the titles . I wish.
But today the reality is that the market is difficult for players who, like James, are over 30 years old and that rumors speak of a team that Falcao curiously knows: Turkey’s Galatasaray.
According to the newspaper Sporx, agent Jorge Mendes would have activated his friendship with Luis Campos, Galatasaray’s sports advisor, and would have offered the left-hander, a contact that has yet to be endorsed by president Bulak Elmas and sports director, Pasquale Sensibile.
The truth is that it is not, far from it, a simple operation: James is a player of about 9 million euros per year at present, so the first thing would be to drastically reduce the salary. Until how much? Well, if Falcao seemed priceless to them over 5 million a year, we are talking about more than half a reduction, for a player who, like his salary, is also prone to injuries in recent years.
The other issue is that the creative is not a free player, he has two more years of contract with Al Rayyan from Qatar and a transfer would have to be paid. Will Galataaray do it? In fact, would anyone? That is the question. James will have preferred a team in Italy or Spain and is still waiting for a possibility, beyond the fact that his ideal league at the moment would be the MLS, due to the proximity of his family and his country, if the rumors of romance with an actress Colombian are real.
