Report: The future of James Rodriguez and Paulo Dybala could be linked while Real Madrid hides behind the scenes

According to Italian news, Juventus would like to acquire Bayern Munich midfielder James Rodriguez, but should unload Paulo Dybala before moving. By CalciomercatoBayern has already made the decision to let Colombia go this summer.

James Rodriguez is a transfer target of Juventus for next season. The Colombian star will not settle permanently in Bayern Munich, the Germans having decided not to sign it. James is about to return to Real Madrid and according to reports reported in Spain, Cristiano Ronaldo has already called for him to move to Juve this summer.

The player's agent, Jorge Mendes, also discussed with Fabio Paratici the possible switching of James by Juventus, but according to Tuttosport, the player will join Juventus only if Paulo Dybala is sold in summer.

According to recent accounts, James's father, Wilson Rodriguez, and his father-in-law, Juan Carlos Restrepo, said the 27-year-old could look for a future in Italy. It has even been reported that Cristiano Ronaldo had agreed to recruit James by calling his former teammate to discuss the future.

Tuttosport, at the same time, said that Juventus was looking for a salary of 100 million euros on a sale of Dybala and that Real Madrid could be ready to pay that sum.

(Sports director Juventus) Fabio Paratici would discuss the sale of (Dybala) than before an offer of more than 100 million euros. Precisely the figure according to which, according to Spanish rumors, Real Madrid would be ready to invest for Dybala.

James was shy about his future plans, often stating simply that he was happy in Munich despite the impending delay regarding his future. The Colombian international has not given any indication of his future plans in a recent interview with Bild that we captured here.

Despite rumors circulating around him, James offered a solid, but not spectacular, effort to Bayern yesterday, in the team's 3-2 win against DFB-Pokal on Hertha Berlin. James was a great help to Serge Gnabry's second goal, but he also had three good chances to score.

Anyway, the value of James in the free market is very high. Bayern will have to formally decide whether or not to exercise its option to buy from Real Madrid in the coming months so that the club can finalize its plans for the 2019/2020 season.
