Real Madrid president Florentino seeks Chinese buyer for James

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is touting James Rodriguez to Chinese clubs.

Don Balon says Florentino is keen to find a buyer for the Colombia international, but cannot find any club willing to cover the €80 million they paid AS Monaco for James.

PSG, Manchester United, Inter Milan and Juventus have all been in contact, but are unwilling to go higher than €40 million for the attacker.

Instead, Florentino is now seeking takers from China, confident he can sell James for close to his original fee.

The big stumbling block, however, is that James has no interest in moving to the Far East at this stage of his career.
