Manchester United in Talks with €40m Rated Madrid Midfielder over Possible Summer Move

According to reports, Manchester United have commenced talks with Jorge Mendes the agent of Real Madrid midfielder James Rodriguez over a possible transfer for the Colombia in the summer.
The 28-year-old has been out of favour under manager Zinedine Zidane. James joined Madrid in 2014 from AS. Monaco and has performed below expectations, though he was sent on loan to Bayern Munich in 2017 to 2019, yet, the Colombia could not secure a permanent place in the Galactios midfield.

James who is valued at €40m has made 13 appearances for Madrid this season in all competitions, scoring 1 goal and 2 assists.

If the deal go through, can he find a place in Manchester United attacking midfield with the presence of January signing Bruno Fernandes, who is currently having a superb outings with United, only time will tell.
