Manchester United ‘Weigh Up A Cut-Price Move For Real Madrid Playmaker James Rodriguez
Manchester United are considering a move to sign Real Madrid midfielder James Rodriguez in a cut-price deal, according to The Sun.
Los Blancos signed the Colombian for £71million after a stunning World Cup campaign in 2014, but could risk losing the playmaker for free unless they offload him this summer.
The 28-year-old’s current contract is set to expire at the end of the 2020-21 season and he is unlikely to be offered a new deal by Zinedine Zidane after making just 13 appearances this term.
Manchester United are reportedly looking to strike a bargain deal to sign James Rodriguez
The unforeseen suspension of the football season has limited revenue for clubs, and the financial uncertainty caused by the coronavirus crisis could force even the wealthiest teams to balance the books.
Rodriguez spent the 2017-18 and 2018-19 seasons on loan at Bayern Munich, producing 15 goals and 20 assists in 67 matches.
He also won the German Super Cup, two German Cups and two Bundesliga titles in two seasons at the Allianz Arena.
