The tug of war with Real Madrid continues. Florentino Perez only thinks about selling, De Laurentiis aims to have it on loan
DIMARO – The Napoli and Ancelotti did not give up: James Rodriguez remains an important target of the market. We also do primary, considering that Carletto has always put it at the top of the list delivered to the company. An original list that included: Rodrigo, Lozano and Jr and then, shadowed by the Valencia striker, he saw the splendid idea of the name Pep . But this is another story. James , we said. An endless soap opera with two certified bases and a series of other news that vary according to the moods of the powerful actors at stake: the Real absolutely wants to sell it to definitive title or on loan with obligation of redemption ; the Napoli absolutely wants to borrow it with the right of redemption and will not give in a millimeter; the player would be delighted to return to work with Ancelotti for the third time , after the experiences in Madrid and Bayern. In other words, the wall against the wall continues. With the Atletico, interested spectator, in the background.
And then, the umpteenth episode of the summer hit. A story that De Laurentiis , even before the retreat, has always explained thus: “ It takes a lot of patience. The time will be long . It was not a bluff, certainly: the president has the action plan clear in his mind, and therefore bringing James to Napoli on his terms. In other words, on loan with right of redemption: that is, with the same formula that Real granted Bayern two seasons ago. On the other hand, burned by the Bavarians’ failure to redeem themselves, Florentino Perez has instead placed a different condition: James, this time, will be sold to definitive title for a total of 42 million euros . Which up to now, despite the flirtation with Atletico Madrid and especially with Cholo Simeone, has not yet happened.
From Spain and Colombia, meanwhile, a focus on JR goes on every day: the rest is still a champion, a star from the sinister fairy we talk about. Of a real 10, as defined by his biggest sponsor: Carletto, to be precise. The desires and the positions, in short, are very clear to everyone: and the game ball, now more than ever, is in the hands of Jorge Mendes . The manager of James, the intermediary of the negotiation as well as one of the football plenipotentiaries who, with Florentino and the Real, has for years dealt with ultra-millionaire affairs ( Cristiano Ronaldo is the shining example). “ Mendes is a friend “, he repeats every time De Laurentiis . And then wait, without haste. And without losing his certainty: James yes, but only on loan
