James Rodríguez could once again be one of the main protagonists of the next transfer market. From Colombia, they assure that the best player of the last Copa América would have asked to leave Rayo Vallecano in January due to the dramatic situation that the coffee-producing footballer is experiencing since his arrival in August as a real star of the Madrid club .
It was the journalist Lizeth Durán, in the show ‘El VBar Caracol’, who assured this Friday that James had a meeting with the president of the Rayista, Raúl Martín Presa, where the ’10’ of Colombia would have expressed his dissatisfaction with the role he acquired in the franjirrojo team.
And since the start of the championship, James has only played 123 minutes in five games with those of Vallecas being relegated to the bench in many calls. It all comes down to the fact that Vallecano team coach Íñigo Pérez still sees the former Real Madrid midfielder currently being adapted because he didn’t do any pre-season.
To this are added apparent injuries that have not been confirmed by the Rayo medical staff, such as an overload which excluded him from training and a “discomfort” which excluded him from the Copa del Rey duel against Villamuriel.

Despite his recognized talent, Rodríguez spent very little time on the field. The minutes played by the Colombian are limited, without achieving the desired impact in the matches he has played,” they say.
