Super-agent Mendes meets with Tianjin Quanjian's owner amid speculation surrounding James' future

The Real Madrid star's representative has been pictured alongside billionaire Shu Yuhui, fuelling talk about a big-money switch to China

Super-agent Jorge Mendes has been pictured meeting with Tianjin Quanjian's billionaire owner amid speculation surrounding James Rodriguez's future at Real Madrid.

James, 25, recently confirmed he would be staying at Real but that has not stopped speculation linking him with a big-money move to China.

Chinese Super League outfit Hebei Fortune rejected claims on Wednesday that they had offered £95 million for the Colombia attacking midfielder.

However, talk has been intensified after James' representative Mendes met with Tianjin Quanjian chief Shu Yuhui to present him with a signed Real shirt from Cristiano Ronaldo.
