The madness of the market can do it all! James Rodriguez presses to leave, almost fleeing, Everton, while for a compatriot his farewell would be the gateway to the Premier League.
The move is unexpected but very favorable for the left: he would return to Porto, where he began his journey to Europe, and his departure would be in exchange, no more and no less than for Luis Diaz.
Who would have imagined it! James would thus resolve his uncertainty now that Rafa Benitez has him sentenced and Diaz would be seen in the prestigious Premier League.
The version is from transfer market expert Fabrizio Romà, who posted on his social media: “Everton’s interest in the Porto winger Luis Diaz is genuine and confirmed. The talks include James Rodriguez as apart from the negotiation for a cession to Porto “.
James is clearly interested, at this point, in any option that involves leaving Everton: “James Rodríguez will decide soon. FC Porto really want him even on loan,” the expert adds.
Everton’s interest in the Porto winger Luis Diaz is “genuine” and confirmed. Board talks included James Rodriguez as part of the negotiation for FC Porto on loan, as @_pauljoyce confirmed. 🔵 #EFC
James Rodriguez will decide soon. FC Porto also want him, even if he is only on loan.

The question now is on Diaz’s side: should he really go to Everton, a club without European competition and half a table in the Premier League, when he has played for Chelsea and Tottenham? Is this the best gateway to England? This is the answer that is expected to know if there may be change or not.
There are a few days left until the market closes. Right now, everything is open. For James it is now or never, worse not necessarily for Diaz.
