Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane is reportedly interested in a swap deal with Juventus that includes young phenoms James Rodriguez and Paul Pogba.
The 24-year-old attacking midfielder has found himself with an increasingly marginal role at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium and Los Blancos may look to offload the Colombia international in order to strengthen the side in other areas of the pitch.
According to Spanish publication El Mundo Deportivo, Real Madrid will attempt to use James as a makeweight for Bianconeri star Pogba, as the Frenchman continues to be linked with top clubs across Europe.
The 23-year-old is valued at approximately €100 million and with James’ value stagnating in his second season with Los Merengues, the Spanish giants would likely need to include a considerable fee in order to force a deal.
This is the second recent high-profile player exchange that has been rumoured between the two sides, as talks surfaced in March in regards to a potential deal involving Isco and Alvaro Morata.
