James Rodriguez apparently wants to leave his current club.
Atlético Madrid should be interested - but the ex-FCB star would rather stay in the desert.
Munich – At the 2014 World Cup, his star really rose.
Between 2017 and 2019 he played for FC Bayern, played 67 games, scored 15 goals and prepared 20 goals - but now he's playing in the desert.
We're talking about James Rodriguez, who not so long ago was considered one of the most gifted soccer players on the planet.

And now?
Difficult.
After not being signed by Bayern Munich after his loan from Real Madrid, the left-footed player tried Everton FC before moving to Al-Rayyan in Qatar.
Presumably, economic considerations played no insignificant role for James.

The level in the league of the World Cup hosts does not seem to be too high, which is why the Colombian is said to have been extremely dissatisfied from the start.
That's why James sometimes just sat on the bench.
Argentinian media are now reporting that he wants to leave the club after a good six months.
He only played twelve games in the desert league.

With Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray Istanbul, the top clubs from Turkey are said to be lining up for the top scorer of the 2014 World Cup. Atlético Madrid with star coach Diego Simeone should also deal with the dribbler.
But James apparently wants to stay in the desert - and move to the United Arab Emirates!
The now 30-year-old is said to be drawn to Al-Ain.
Eight years ago, Los Blancos paid AS Monaco €75m to secure James' services.
Since then, his star has been falling more and more.
His purse, on the other hand, should have filled up a lot in the last year.
