Lazio is strongly considering signing James Rodríguez, who currently plays for Rayo Vallecano, to strengthen their squad in the winter transfer market. Despite the Colombian midfielder's initial intention to be one of the main attractions in Rayo Vallecano's centennial season, his involvement in LaLiga has been less than expected, sparking interest from several clubs, especially Lazio, who appear ready to provide a new boost to James' career in Serie A.
James's arrival at Vallecas generated high expectations, partly due to his outstanding performance with the Colombian national team in the last Copa America. However, his playing time has been limited, with just 123 minutes spread across five matches and only one start to date. This lack of continuity, attributed to struggles in adapting to the team's style and the coach's tactics under Iñigo Pérez, has led to speculation about his future.
Lazio Wants James Rodríguez
Italian media outlets close to Lazio, such as the Lazio Channel, have reported that the Roman club is monitoring the Colombian's situation and could attempt to secure his signing in January. For the "biancocelesti," James's profile and international experience would be a valuable addition to their playing style, provided he regains his physical and competitive form. Lazio, relying on his potential, hopes that the Colombian will get more minutes in LaLiga, enabling him to arrive in good shape for Serie A.
Currently, Rayo Vallecano is still assessing the performance of their Colombian star, but the possibility of a move to Italian football in January is gaining momentum.
