Real Madrid president Florentino Perez reportedly held discussions with Inter Milan representative Zhang Jindong on Friday to discuss a possible deal for James Rodriguez.
According to Tuttosport and Gazzetta dello Sport (h/t Football Italia), Perez spoke with Zhang, the chief of the Suning group which owns the Italian club, about numerous topics, although the possible sale of the Colombian was said to be top of the agenda.
It’s suggested Zhang is trying to forge a link with Los Blancos that could put them ahead in the race to sign Rodriguez.
