Everton’s James Rodriguez is in talks with a club in Qatar about a potential move to the Middle East.

The former Real Madrid midfielder is yet to play a game since the arrival of Rafa Benitez as manager.

The 2014 World Cup Golden Boot winner had an option to move to Portugal during the transfer window but a deal could not be agreed with Porto.

The official line from the club was that Rodriguez was in Benitez’s plans ‘until August 31’, but Qatar could prove to be an escape route with the transfer window open until September 30.

James has used streaming service Twitch to provide his followers with updates on his future, which has angered many supporters.

 

The 30-year-old arrived at Goodison Park on a free transfer in September 2020, reuniting for a third time with then-manager Carlo Ancelotti.

He signed a two-year deal, with an option of a third, and became the highest-paid player in Everton’s history.
