I dunno where James Rodriguez will end up, but it seems a lot of folk are underestimating him as a player.— Nooruddean (@BeardedGenius) July 9, 2017
James had struggled for game time under Real boss Zinedine Zidane during the Frenchman's 18-month spell in charge at the Santiago Bernabeu, and had been linked with a number of clubs across Europe including Premier League champions Chelsea, Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain.

It is Bayern, though, who have landed the coveted playmaker's signature this summer, as former Los Blancos manager Carlo Ancelotti secures a reunion with Rodriguez in Bavaria.
This news followed speculation on Monday evening, when Bayern chief executive Karl-Heinz Rummenigge was quizzed over the gossip surrounding Rodriguez's possible switch to his club.
The 61-year-old, however, remained coy on the subject of tempting Rodriguez to the German heavyweights:
"I ask for understanding that I cannot reveal our plans. I do not want to talk about any rumour because it gets us nowhere. In cases of doubt it makes things more complicated and expensive.
"We will keep all options open until the last day and we will continue to keep an eye on what is going on and discuss options internally.''The @jamesdrodriguez Deal. Loan: 5 Million Euros per year. @FCBayern can buy him 2019 for 35,2 Million Euros @SPORTBILD @real— Christian Falk (@cfbayern) July 11, 2017
Well, now the world knows that the rumours proved legitimate. Rodriguez has scored 36 goals in 111 appearances for Real Madrid during his three-season spell, but featured just 33 times last term, with only 21 of those from the starting lineup.
