James Rodríguez continues in preseason with Al Rayyanbut the latest images that the club has published on its social networks seem to show that the Colombian is not comfortable.
The ’10’ had no action on Saturday, when Al Rayyan drew 1-1 against FC Dordrecht. Press versions assure that the Colombian player was left out of the game due to physical problems.
James’s businessman, the Portuguese Jorge Mendes, is still looking for a possibility for the Colombian to have more continuity and to recover his level.
James’ option to Botafogo was ruled out
Botafogo, from Brazil, was very interested in his services and there was even an agreement between clubs, according to the Brazilian press, but it was James himself who ruled out the transfer, since his intention is to play again in Europe.
Another of the possibilities that was handled for James was the arrival in Rome, where coach José Mourinho, who is also represented by Mendes, has a good opinion of his footballing conditions. The version was released by the Qatari newspaper Al Watan.
James still has no options to return to Europe, for now
However, now that route back to the Old Continent seems to be closing. The Argentine Paulo Dybala, who has just left Juventus, could be a new Roma player, which would rule out the signing of the Colombian player.
For now, James’ future is still tied to Al Rayyan, who will begin their season in the Qatari League on August 3. However, the transfer books in Europe close at the end of that month, so Mendes continues his race against time to find a team for one of his representatives.
