James Rodríguez is very close to having a new team. As MARCA can reveal, Avellino , a club in Italy's second division managed by coach Nesta, is in very advanced negotiations with the Colombian. James, who is currently without a team , is in talks with the Italian club and both parties are very close to reaching an agreement.
Alessandro Nesta himself, Italian legend and Avellino coach, has held talks with the player and the positions are very close. Now the key is to make the numbers work, but the announcement could be made soon .
James Rodríguez left MLS side Montreal Impact and during this transfer window has been linked with strengthening the squad of different teams. Now, with the transfer window already closed but carrying the label of a free agent, he is close to finding a new project to continue his career.
The US Avellino 1912 is currently in fifth position in the Italian Serie B standings , three points behind the leader, Palermo. The signing of James Rodríguez would be a boost for Avellino in its bid for the always difficult promotion to Serie A .
