James Rodríguez, the Colombian international who was voted the best player of the last Copa América, has faced significant challenges during his tenure at São Paulo.
Despite his impressive track record and reputation, he has struggled to establish himself and make a significant impact at the Brazilian club.
According to a report by "Globoesporte" on Sunday, James is currently in discussions to negotiate the termination of his contract with São Paulo. This development highlights his ongoing difficulties in adapting to the team and the league, leading to his decision to seek opportunities elsewhere.
The report further confirms that James has a strong desire to return to Europe, with a particular preference for Spanish football. This is not surprising given his successful history in Spain, where he previously played for Real Madrid and made a name for himself in La Liga. Currently, Atlético de Madrid and Villarreal are mentioned as potential destinations for the talented midfielder.
This season, James has appeared in eight games for São Paulo, managing to score just one goal. His limited contribution to the team's performance underscores the challenges he has faced in finding his form and fitting into the squad. As negotiations for his departure continue, fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see where James will continue his career and whether a move back to Europe will help him regain his top form.
