Parma sporting director: 'I was about to sign James Rodriguez at Bari'
Faggiano was once Bari's chief scout not long ago and in an interview he gave to Corriere dello Sport, he talked about a time when the club nearly signed James Rodriguez.
He said: "James Rodriguez could have been at Bari in a co-ownership with Juventus, but nothing came of it due to budgetary requirements. I went to see Pastore too , but Palermo was already well in for signing him."
