Rumors about the future Giacomo Rodriguez They seem to have come to an end. After the lack of continuity in Al Rayyan for injuries and other reasons, the Colombian wanted to leave Qatari football and according to the local press He would have already agreed on his continuity in a South American team.
The Colombian midfielder had various enticing offers and even in recent days there were rumors that Boca Juniors it was an option. Although management gave no indication that this was true, the 30-year-old player’s uncle had shown his enthusiasm to see his nephew compete in Argentina.
However, it would seem that both Xeneize and the other interested clubs would have been excluded from the negotiations as the former Real Madrid would be satisfied with the offer of a South American team. According to the Qatari press, James would have agreed Botafogo from Brazil and would leave Al Rayyan to compete in Brasileirao.
Despite having a contract with Al Rayyan until June 2023, the former Banfield was determined to change sides. He arrived less than a year ago, last September, but he never settled into the club or the lifestyle in Qatar and After failing to qualify for the World Cup with Colombia, he defined it was the right time to go in search of new paths.
Another of the teams concerned is Galatasaray from Turkey who appeared to be in the lead as he had flirted with the Colombian on several occasions and all indicated he was close to his signature. Even so, it looks like Botafogo beat him and James would go to South America. So far, no one from the player’s environment has confirmed the news and he hasn’t given any signals even on his social networks, but for the Qatari press it is already a fact …
And the mouth?
Although the club has not made any statements on the matter, the player’s uncle has given the green light. “It is not a setback to return to playing in South America for James, look at the case of Juanfer Quintero who went to River and boosted his career there. Being in the world of Boca for James would mean relaunching his career and return to its level “Elkin Rodríguez declared and installed enthusiasm in all followers of Xeneize.
In that sense, his uncle said in an interview with Mundo Boca: “James’ arrival at Boca would be ideal to raise his level and return to having his name in the big orbits. James is an innate talent! So is Suárez, but a player like him is not seen much in the world. “
Furthermore, taking into account the fact that in recent times the possibility of several clubs has emerged and even the fact that he will join the army in Major League Soccer, Elkin Rodríguez explained: “In principle I tell you that James’s intention is to continue for a while in Europe. but this is football and the possibilities can arise, even more so if it is Boca with its level and its international fame. “
