Man City, Chelsea go head-to-head for James Rodriguez

29 June 2016 - 08:18

Real Madrid ace James Rodriguez could find himself in the Premier League next season amid strong interest from Manchester City and Chelsea.

  • Chelsea ready new contract for star midfielder
  • Chelsea make first move to sign Xabi Alonso


  • The 24-year-old has been tipped to pursue a fresh challenge this summer with Zinedine Zidane reluctant to guarantee him regular playing time next season.

    Having fared well for Colombia at the centenary edition of the Copa America, his interest has gone up a notch with City and Chelsea ready to go on a bidding war for his services, Spanish source El Confidencial claims.

    The talented had an allround game for his national side as they finished third in the showpiece earlier this month.

    French champions Paris Saint-Germain are also in the running for the player's signature.

    Rodriguez has racked 25 goals in 78 appearances for the Bernabeu giants since his move from AS Monaco in 2014.
