The Colombia international is sparking transfer talk, with fellow countryman Javier Restrepo urging the midfielder to leave Real for their neighbours
James Rodriguez has been urged to push through a proposed move to Atletico Madrid, with the Real outcast told by fellow Colombian Javier Restrepo that Diego Simeone would be the perfect coach for him.
A crossing of the divide in the Spanish capital has been mooted for the 28-year-old playmaker.
Having returned to Santiago Bernabeu in the summer of 2019 from a two-year loan at Bayern Munich, James has been unable to secure a regular starting berth with the Blancos.
