Shocking: James Rodriguez Prefers To Join This Premier League Club!!

It says a lot about a club’s riches when they can afford to offer out a player like James Rodriguez.
It hasn’t quite worked out for the Colombian at Real Madrid following his move there on the back of an impressive showing at the World Cup in 2014 and it now seems that his stint at the Santiago Bernabeu could be coming to an end.
According to a report in the Daily Mail, the 25-year-old is being offered to Premier League clubs specifically, and it would seem he has a particular club in mind that he wants to join.
Sources close to the player have indicated that he would be keen on joining current league leaders Chelsea, with super-agent Jorge Mendes putting together his exit plan.
Manchester United are also in the race to sign the Colombian as Mourinho is keen to remodel his midfield setup.
Mendes already represents a number of football’s top personalities, including Cristiano Ronaldo, David de Gea and Jose Mourinho.
It has been suggested that Real are looking to move the Colombian on because of a change in circumstances to their transfer ban.
Los Blancos had initially been handed a two-window transfer ban only for the Court of Arbitration in Sport to overturn FIFA’s decision.
This means Real will be allowed to sign players again this summer, meaning there is no longer a great desire to hang on to their current crop.
In amongst all the speculation regarding his future, the player himself has refused to rule out a swift exit from the Spanish capital.
“I can’t assure I will stay at Real Madrid,” he said after his side won the Club World Cup last week.
“I have offers and seven days left to think about my future.
“I am happy in Madrid, but I want to play more. I have a bitter feeling as I wanted to play the final, but I am happy for the title. It’s my 15th title in my career.”
The Mail cite other publications at hinting at moves to the likes of Inter Milan and Juventus in their report, but a move to the Premier League would suit him better both financially and stylistically.
Should he link up with the Blues in the new year he would be on course to lift yet another title before being given a fresh start in the Champions League next season.
