United will go after James on one condition

The COVID-19 has had a clear impact on big clubs' finances. That's why this summer the transfer window is different from what we're used to. No multi-million dollar transfers are expected.

Manchester United, for example, one of Europe's most powerful teams in terms of purchasing power, has already decided only key transfers will be made.

Meanwhile, James Rodriguez as caught their eye. In his day, Real Madrid signed him for 80 million euros. But United can't afford to pay out that kind of money.

Therefore, explains 'The Sun', in United they would be probing the possibility of making a bid for James with a condition: that they make a discount. The Colombian is prepared to make the move, but they can't afford excesses.

His salary would be another issue. James receives around 221,000 euros a week, according to figures from 'The Sun'. If he were to land at Old Trafford, he would have to take a pay cut.

Madrid are open to offers for James. According to a recent publication by AS, the club would save 17 million euros by letting James leave.
