Everton in advanced talks to sign James Rodriguez

Everton have been linked with the Real Madrid playmaker James Rodriguez for a while now.

As per Il Giornale (translated by Sportwitness), the Toffees are now in advanced negotiations to sign the Colombian.

Rodriguez has fallen out of favour at Real Madrid and he needs to leave the club in order to play regularly.

Carlo Ancelotti has worked with the player before and he is keen on a reunion. The Italian wanted to sign the player during his time at Napoli as well but he wasn’t backed by the club hierarchy.
