Legendary return for James Rodriguez to La Liga after exploding in Copa America

James Rodríguez is being one of the main figures of the Copa America. The Colombian national team is in the semi-finals, where they will play against Uruguay, and many hopes are placed in the figure of the experienced 32-year-old attacker.

With the permission of Luis Díaz, he is the star of the team, and this is reflected in the five assists he has made for his teammates in just four contested games, in addition to one goal.

He is again a top-level player, even if he is now playing away from Europe . Specifically, in São Paulo, the club that rescued him last July, after three months without being able to find work, and where he has recovered his smile.

This has led him to be a much sought-after footballer again, and he has received multiple proposals to change his mind again. And a way has been opened for him to be able to return to La Liga EA Sports.

The ex of Everton, AS Monaco, Porto , Banfield or Olympiakos has always assured that it was in Spain where he was most comfortable, and at the time he was one of the leaders of Real Madrid . Florentino Pérez paid almost 80 million euros for his services, and although he left samples of his incredible quality, he was never regular and this meant that he did not end up succeeding as expected, although he can boast of have an enviable record.

James has great memories of his time in the Spanish league, and in the past he was linked to Atlético de Madrid, Valencia, Villarreal, Sevilla or Betis. And now Real Sociedad is the entity that has shown interest in Rodríguez, who could be one of the ‘bombshells’ of the summer. Imanol Alguacil assumes that he will lose Mikel Merino and Martín Zubimendi, as happened with Robin Le Normand, and is looking for new stars for the core.

And he thought about the Colombian, whom he would try to rescue as he did with Martin Ödegaard or Takefusa Kubo. One option, that of finishing in Anoeta, which cannot be denied is very tempting.

The cost of James would be very reasonable, and the ‘Txuri Urdin’ could pay him without any problem. He’s free in 12 months, and wouldn’t demand a particularly high salary either.

Imanol believes that Rodríguez can be crucial in Real Sociedad, and could play in the Europa League . They won’t lose sight of him during the Copa América , and nothing can be ruled out right now.
