They give James Rodríguez everything in Brazil: 'Little mediocre player'

James Rodriguez He is experiencing days of uncertainty in Brazil, where he is negotiating the termination of his contract with Sao Pauloa club he joined six months ago and where he does not want to remain in 2024.

James has not competed so far this year, first due to physical discomfort reported by the Sao Paulo coach, Thiago Carpini, and then by his desire to leave.

As it is, the player is today looking for another option, and although he has no shortage of suitors, he must first resolve his departure from Sao Paulo, with which he has a current contract.

In Brazil, the player's desire to leave did not sit well at all. James has received criticism from the fans and some sectors of the press.

Now he was the former player Jose Ferreira Netocurrent panelist on the program Os Donos da Bola, on the Rede Banderaintes network, who attacked the Colombian, whom he even called a “mediocre little player.”

“The biggest mistake in the history of Sao Paulo in terms of hiring was that mediocre player who had a great World Cup (Brazil 2014) and that everyone treats him like a genius. He doesn't clean my boots, nor those of Djalminha, of Alex , Zenon or Pita, but he played in a World Cup with Colombia and everyone here talks about him. It's a shame that he wore the shirt of one of the biggest clubs in the world,” Neto said during the live broadcast.

His mess in Brazil

The management would have insisted that he continue, but they also understand that he would not be a starter and having a luxury substitute no longer makes sense due to his high salary on the team.

The footballer and the board reached an agreement for his departure in recent days, but now the player's entourage would be asking for a significant figure to seal the definitive separation, so the issue would be frozen.

And the Brazilian media UOL warns that James's entourage would have asked for two million euros for the termination of his contract that runs until June 2025.

The media also points out that the president of Sao Paulo, Julio Casares, would not agree with that request since he says that the club is up to date with his salary and image rights.
