Little by little, James Rodríguez is returning to his best level at Olympiacos. That made several clubs they would look once more to sign him and one of those would be Vasco da Gama, who hoped to have it for the following season. However, in Brazil they revealed that the 31-year-old midfielder would not make it to the South American squad.
The journalist Jorge Nicola indicated: “The information I have regarding James is that he is practically impossible for his negotiation with Vasco to go ahead. From difficult to impossible. Therefore, that possibility would be terminated for the offensive midfielder in 2023 who would renew his contract with Olympiacos to extend his stay in Greece.
“To close the subject of James, he can sign a pre-contract with Olympiacos (refers to the 2nd year of the contract). It is also clear between the two parties that the possibility to activate his contract with Olympiacos is serious”, added the Brazilian.
