The Colombian's frustration at Real Madrid is understandable given his lack of involvement, according to the club's former coach
Real Madrid midfielder James Rodriguez has become "offended" by his lack of action and simply wants to prove himself, former head coach Jorge Valdano has said.
The Colombia international stated following Sunday's Club World Cup final that he is considering offers from elsewhere after growing frustrated with his role at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Club captain Sergio Ramos questioned James' decision to speak publicly about his concerns and speculation has mounted that his outburst has caused irreparable damage to his relationship with boss Zinedine Zidane.
