Both have become benchwarmers
under Zidane
The
final week of the transfer window could be a hectic one for Real Madrid, as they might sign a player,
but only if either James Rodriguez or Isco leave the club.
This
summer has felt as if nothing has been happening inside the walls of
Valdebebas, the club's headquarters, but the reality is much different as the
cogs of the machine are working hard to get deals done.
MARCA
have been told that the idea is to have at least one player leave the team to
play elsewhere, and with the end of the market fast approaching Real are
putting all their cards on the table to get a move organised.
This
is where James and Isco come into it, as the two players create an awkward
situation for head coach Zinedine Zidane; both are heavyweights in the squad,
but have become very familiar with the bench during the Frenchman's reign,
making mostly substitute appearances.
The
James situation is especially difficult for Los Blancos, as he is one of the
famed Galacticos, with a salary that commands more than a just a place in the
dugout.
For
this reason the hierarchy would prefer to sell the Colombian rather than the
Spaniard; it is an open secret, however, that Zidane prefers James to Isco,
although he respects whatever decision the club takes.
A
new defensive midfielder has been on Zidane's wish list all summer, and with
the departure of one of these players, that may very well come to fruition if
the club act quickly.
It
was reported on Thursday that a real estate agency had been employed to find a
place of residence for James in Turin, where Juventus are based.
Another
possibility is that Mariano leaves, with competition up front so fierce the
Dominican international might not get any game time this season.
