James may join Ronaldo at Juve
COLOMBIA international, James Rodriguez is on loan at Bayern Munich from Real Madrid but continues to be linked with a move to Serie A this summer.
James Rodriguez’s father has said that his son joining Cristiano Ronaldo at Juventus would be “a good decision”.
The Colombia forward’s two-year loan from Real Madrid to Bayern Munich is set to draw to a close at end of the current campaign and Wilson Rodriguez is plotting his son’s next move, favouring a link-up with his former Real team-mate, Ronaldo in Serie A.
A lack of playing time under head coach, Niko Kovac means Bayern are unlikely to take up their option of a permanent signing, with Rodriguez Snr saying the 27-year-old “is not that happy” there.
He told Sport Bild: “He has many offers. He is a good friend with Cristiano.
“The way I perceive Italian football right now, moving to (Juventus) would be a good decision.”
Asked about his limited opportunities under Kovac, Rodriguez said: “We are both professionals, it’s a normal relationship between player and coach.”
And of a potential move away, he added: “Until then there are still four months left and I’m only thinking of Bayern at the moment.”
