James Rodriguez is in demand
MANCHESTER UNITED and Chelsea have a more realistic chance of signing James Rodriguez than Liverpool.
Those are the thoughts of La Liga expert Guillem Balague.
Reports emerged over the weekend suggested four Premier League clubs - Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool and Man City - will all vie for Real Madrid star Rodriguez's signature.
The La Liga giants are hoping to recoup as much as the £63million they stumped up for him four years ago.
Jurgen Klopp has big plans to take Liverpool to the next level in the summer and Rodriguez is on his wish list.
But Balague thinks United and Chelsea have a better chance of getting their hands on him.
"Of course they are, but they aren't the only one. Liverpool are realistic and I think they realise James is looking for a different type of team," Balague told Sky Sports.
"But he is leaving the door open to all possibilities because he knows Real Madrid want to get rid of him.
"He would like to go to a club like Chelsea or Manchester United and he has offers from England and Italy but we will have to wait and see."
