Colombian star James Rodriguez was very close to joining Colombian club Junior de Barranquia. It seemed like a matter of time before he finally returned home. But at the last minute, everything was turned upside down.
Multiple media outlets have confirmed that Rodriguez’s talks with Barranquia have failed. It is known that Rodriguez can be seen in Mexican club Leon, not in Barranquia. If the news is true, Rodriguez will be one of the top stars to play in Mexico in recent times.
Meanwhile, there is a lot of talk about Rodriguez’s contract talks with Barranquia not being successful. It is known that the Copa America’s tournament-best star Rodriguez or the Colombian club had some demands to raise their eyes in front of the forehead. There was also a demand that he be given 14 bodyguards if he joined the party.
It is known that there was a long meeting between Rodriguez and the club in the Colombian city of Lanogrande. But the two sides could not reach a consensus on some demands. As a result, the contract process did not proceed.
Rodriguez’s claims were published by journalist Fabio Poveda, citing sources at the Colombian club. In addition to the 14 bodyguards, the Colombian forward has also demanded that the club bring better players as teammates.
