Match in Barranquilla, Colombia, between the national team and the Bolivian for qualifying for the Qatar 2022 World Cup.

The Colombian travels to Greece to join Olympiacos, reported Fabrizio Romano.

After a convulsive transfer market, Colombian James Rodríguez would leave Al Rayyan in Qatar, where he experienced moments of difficulty due to injuries and the uncompetitiveness of that football.

The transfer market specialist Fabrizio Romano confirmed that the Colombian will sign with Olympiacos from Greece, the country where he will travel this Wednesday to close the deal.

“I have been told that the Colombian star will return to Greece today: scheduled doctor, there is a verbal agreement,” said Romano.

James would arrive at the historic Greek club on loan.

The transfer market in Greece closes this Thursday, September 15, and his passage to that country is a lifesaver, since the attempts to be transferred caused criticism and whining by Qatari fans towards the Colombian.

In addition, his value in the transfer market is in free fall, being one of the footballers whose pass is most devalued. He went from being worth 80 million euros to 13 million euros in recent years.
