James Rodríguez put an end to his trip with
Real Madrid
.
On Monday night, the white club made official the transfer of the Colombian to Everton,
for about 25 million euros
.
With one year still on their contract, the team and the player have preferred to separate their paths after having hardly had any opportunities last season.
The striker who arrived in 2014 as a great star of the
World Cup in Brazil
, had a good initial season and then faded away, without the confidence of Zinedine Zidane.
Last year he started playing, although he touched the start, but an injury took him away from the dynamics, and he was unable to regain his position.
The
Atletico Madrid
wanted his signing, but the white club stopped the operation in the summer of 2019, right after that thrashing of Simeone in a friendly.
James will meet again at Everton with
Carlo Ancelotti,
the coach who got the most out of him at Madrid.
It was in his first season at the Bernabéu that he finished with 13 goals and 13 assists.
"James, as everyone knows, is a fantastic player with many qualities and a lot of ability to assist the forwards. He is very excited about the club's project and the fact that we want to improve. He was very excited to sign and I didn't need to. time to convince him. He was already convinced ", valued the Italian coach.
Later James, already with Zidane, in the brilliant stage of the three Champions won, he played very little.
In fact, in the Milan final he was a substitute and in Cardiff, a year later, he was not even called up.
This situation led him to leave on loan to Bayern Munich, eventually scoring against Madrid in the second leg of the 2017/18 European Cup semifinals.
The next station also did not take flight in the German box, which did not want to exercise the purchase option it had.
"Ancelotti was a great reason to come here," the footballer repeated up to two times in his first statements on the official Everton website, in which he insisted on his "desire to achieve great things.
I am a winner. A true winner
" , he assured.
