STAND BY - From Madrid they let it be known that it takes 55 million euros to hire James Rodriguez. There has been no response from Naples. And, meanwhile, in the discussion three the two clubs could include a third, Manchester United, intent on treating the Colombian talent. The Red Devils would be willing to satisfy the request of Florentino Perez who does not want to know about a loan operation with the right of redemption. In practice, what Aurelio De Laurentiis had proposed to him, but the president of the Blancos decided to deal only in front of a hypothesis of obligation of redemption, in the case that the final assignment was not reached. In short, there is a risk that the issue will slow down. Napoli will spend time to force Real Madrid to lower its claims or to accept the idea of ​​a right of redemption. Also because the Spaniards have the need to sell having invested, so far, over 300 million euros to hire Mendy, Jovic, presented yesterday, Hazard, Militao and Rodrygo. The problem, however, is the third wheel, that is, Manchester United that needs a blow to effect, especially if they were to go via Lukaku and Pogba. It could certainly be, because James Rodriguez is very attached to Carlo Ancelotti, with whom he worked both in Madrid and in Munich. There is great esteem between the two and the coach, before leaving for Canada, left the purchase of the Colombian talent as the first indication. Which already last summer, expressed the desire to play in Naples where he would find Ancelotti.
