Real Madrid and Jorge Mendes to meet over James

According to 'Il Mattino', the footballer's agent has now been notified by Real Madrid with the aim of planning the meeting to finalise the Colombian's departure. Real Madrid have been wanting to do this for a while.

It seems more and more clear that James will play at Atletico Madrid. Although Napoli still have hope, Atletico Madrid will soon complete the sale of Angel Correa and that money will be use to bring the Colombian to the Wanda. 

Atletico are clear that James is the right man to complete a very good and exciting squad. Christian Eriksen was also linked with the club, but the transfer of James became a bigger priority for the club. 

It is expected that Jorge Mendes and Real Madrid meeting in the coming days. The key date is Monday 29th July and the most logical situation is for James to no longer be a Real Madrid player. Otherwise, he would have to return to training. 

James will say goodbye to Real Madrid with 111 appearances to his name. He scored 36 goals and gave 35 assists which means that he either scored or assisted an average of 0.63 goals per game.
