A move to Juventus would be a ‘good decision’ for James Rodriguez, according to his father.
Rodriguez has been on loan at German giants Bayern Munich, from Real Madrid, since the start of last season but has failed to truly settle with the Bavarian club.
Could James Rodriguez be moving to Juve? Five key things to know…
- James Rodriguez has been on loan at Bayern since the start of last season, scoring 11 goals in 53 games so far.
- The Colombian has only started six Bundesliga games this season, though.
- It is thought Bayern won’t exercise their option to sign the midfielder permanently in the summer.
- James’ father, Wilson, has urged his son to consider a move to Juventus in the summer, where former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo plays.
- Wilson believes Italian football suits James and that a move to Juve would be a ‘good decision’.
Bayern are not expected to take up their €47m option to make his transfer permanent, meaning another big-money move could be in the offing during the summer.
And James’ father, Wilson Rodriguez, has urged his son to consider Italian champions Juventus as a possible destination, in part because former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo is flourishing there this season.
“He’s received many offers,” Wilson told Sport Bild in Germany.
“Juventus? He’s very close to Cristiano Ronaldo. For how I see Italian football, going to Juventus would be a good decision.”
Rodriguez has scored three goals in 11 Bundesliga appearances this season with Bayern currently sitting seven points behind league-leaders Borussia Dortmund.

‘Bayern knows James’ qualities’
Rodriguez’s form at Bayern has been extremely inconsistent. The Colombia international has scored 11 goals in 53 appearances for the Bundesliga champions so far.
However, Bayern CEO, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has stated he is a ‘big fan’ of the 27-year-old and wants Rodriguez to consider the club in his next decision.
“I come out as a big fan of him, we all know in the club what he has qualities,” Rummenigge said recently.
“It is crucial that it is the best decision for him and for us.”
Bayern face FC Schalke on Saturday in their next Bundesliga game.
