Leicester City have launched an ambitious bis to land James Rodriguez, new Spurs boss Jose Mourinho wants Portugal pair and Liverpool are tracking two youngsters in Scotland, all in Euro Paper Talk.
LEICESTER CHASE RODRIGUEZ
Leicester City are sensationally chasing Real Madrid misfit James Rodriguez, according to a report in Spain.
Don Balon report that Leicester are one of his new suitors with Brendan Rodgers willing to pay €40million to secure the midfielder’s signature.
It would be a major coup for Leicester and persuading the the Colombia international to move to the King Power Stadium, even after his troubles at the Bernabeu.
Leicester currently look like top-four material in the Premier League and could be bound for the Champions League, which may well prove to be pivotal in their bid to get the 28-year-old on board.
Rodriguez has made just nine appearances for Real this season having fallen out of favour at the Bernabeu under Zinedine Zidane after an underwhelming two-year loan at Bayern Munich.
