Former Bayern Munich midfielder Stefan Effenberg is of the opinion that James Rodriguez must leave the German champions in order to get more playing time as he reaches the peak years of his career.
James joined Bayern in 2017 on a two-year loan deal, with the Bundesliga side forking out €13 million for those two seasons and having an option to make the move permanent for €42 million (£36m/$47m) at the end of this campaign.
The Colombian, despite some stand-out performances at the Allianz Arena in 2018-19, has been used sparingly by new coach Niko Kovac, managing only three full matches across the entirety of the season.
