Galatasaray join list of hopefuls for James Rodriguez

James Rodriguez is one of the many players who will be free at the end of this season. The Colombian has still not reached a deal with Olympiakos to renew and his future is unknown.

The Greek club's board want to renew the ex-Madrid player, who has managed to get back into some good form recently and has been able to get back to where he was.

James is happy in Greece and has the managerial team's backing, who quickly made the player a permanent feature of the squad. The striker is not ruling out the possibility of signing on and continuining for another season.

However, in the last few hours, 'AS' have confirmed that Galatasaray, one of Turkey's most powerful clubs, are desperate to sign the Colombian star from next season.

Mauro Icardi, Dries Mertens, Lucas Torreira and Juan Mata have been some of the Turkish side's recent signings. It would not be out of the question for James to join them.

We will have to see what happens in the next few months, but what is clear is that Galatasaray are opening the doors to a Rodriguez who will have to make his mind up over his future soon.
