The sun came out this Wednesday and, not to be out of place, brought with it a new rumor, rather a new angle on the future of James Rodríguez in Real Madrid.
It is well known that he does not have the favor of coach Zinedine Zidane and that, by the time LaLiga returns to Spain, his situation will not have changed. In fact it could be worse if you take into account that the row behind Vinicius, Rodrygo, Bale, Isco and even Modric, would add the recovered Asensio, one of the weaknesses of the French coach.
Why stay? Well, why leave just to leave? The test has already been done at Bayern Munich and the summary is that he returned to Valdebebas, where alternating between injuries and substitutions for technical reasons he has only completed 7 games, 4 as a starter and 3 as a substitute, with a total of 341 minutes and one goal. Far, far from the rematch operation for which he returned.
But the covid-19 coronavirus pandemic did not exist before and now it does and that, strange as it may be, may work in its favor. The decision of the International Football Association Board (IFAB) to allow a fifth change in the games of the leagues struggling to complete their seasons, would open one more option to enter the consideration of the coach, either for the League or even for the Champions .
The rule will be transitory, only until December 31, 2020, so if you wanted a motivation then there it is: enter the bench with more options to play than before, when it was only seen in cases of extreme need.
James wants to stay in Spain and Madrid and that, among other things, fuels the rumor of Atlético de Madrid, which for now has not gone from there. If Bale left and the salary burden was alleviated and in the end, as it seems predictable, an offer of at least 40 million euros for him did not come, his best option would be to stay where he is, saving adaptation processes and others and rushing, in last instance, that in the end he can go free in June 2021 when his contract expires. Sometimes it’s not a bad option to win without suffering, right?
