James Rodríguez is the topic of the moment in Greece, where there is more talk about its future than its present.
The Colombian was on the Asian tour of the Colombian National Team, which ended with a draw against Korea (2-2) and victory against Japan (2-1) but in this last game not even the bench was there, apparently due to a muscle problem . Thus he returned to Greece, where the Olympiacos doctors are already in charge of his recovery.

The truth is that upon his return he would have had to face disturbing rumors that arose during the national team break: will he go to Besiktas in Turkey and not renew his contract?
It is what the Turkish press revealed at the time but without official confirmations -as usual when talking about the left-handed- but, according to new sources, the subject is not so decided.
Olympiacos worked the miracle of recovering a player lost at Al-Rayyan in Qatar and made him the author of 5 goals and 6 assists in 21 games that he is today, with regularity, rhythm and confidence, virtues that even the National Team has been able to take advantage of. Colombia. Are they going to miss out on that right now? Apparently not, not even crazy.
“The Piraeus club, according to our wording, would have decided to exercise the renewal option provided for in the player’s contract, which will therefore also be maintained in the next season,” said TUTTOmercatoWEB
The source says that “James Rodríguez seems to have been reborn and has dragged Olympiacos into the regular season of the Greek league” and that costs but it will be an effort that will be made financially.
Will he finally stay or give in to the temptation of Türkiye? Only he knows. The truth is that the Greek League seems to adapt much better to their conditions, since the Turks and their physical game in depth and pure shock have already left illustrious victims like Falcao in the past.
