Florentino: €80m Man United target is a Real player

Florentino: €80m Man United target is a Real player

Real Madrid are making life difficult for anyone to sign James Rodriguez, if Florentino Perez’s latest comments are anything to go by.
 
“James is a Real Madrid player,” Perez told ES Radio, “there are times when players don’t leave when they or their agents want to, and the club’s interests prevail”.
 
The Merengues want to make at least €80 million, which is what they spent on the Colombian back in 2014.
 
Manchester United have chased the Colombian for a while, but have struggled to convince Real, and are also in the race for Alvaro Morata.
 
PSG are also in the race for Rodriguez, who previously starred at Ligue 1 rivals Monaco. A few days ago, it looked like James was going to snub the Red Devils.
 
The Parisians need big names in order to challenge for Champions League glory.
 
Trouble is, nobody is going anywhere near that €80m sum, which is why Cadena Ser have the real price at around the €40m mark.
