&lt;p&gt;Matchday 18 of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/south-american-2022-world-cup-qualifiers-table-standings-and-results-20220324-0031.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;South American qualifiers&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; will determine which national team clinches&amp;nbsp;a spot in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/conmebol-and-concacaf-2022-world-cup-qualifying-playoffs-format-draw-teams-and-dates-20211119-0014.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;inter-continental playoffs&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;Peru&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Chile&lt;/strong&gt;, and &lt;strong&gt;Colombia &lt;/strong&gt;are the three teams who arrived at this exciting round with chances of clinching fifth place of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/qatar-2022-how-many-teams-will-qualify-from-south-american-for-the-world-cup-20220131-0001.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conmebol&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; standings.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ricardo &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Gareca&lt;/strong&gt;'s men headed into this round with advantage as they are in control of their&amp;nbsp;destiny and put themselves in front vs &lt;strong&gt;Paraguay&lt;/strong&gt; early in the game. Meanwhile, Chile and Colombia &lt;strong&gt;were struggling to break the deadlock&lt;/strong&gt; in their respective games.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Reinaldo &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rueda&lt;/strong&gt;'s side, however, found the opener against &lt;strong&gt;Venezuela&lt;/strong&gt; shortly before half-time through the penalty spot. &lt;strong&gt;James Rodriguez&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;had initially missed his shot&lt;/strong&gt; but the VAR review&amp;nbsp;determined that &lt;strong&gt;Wuilker Fari&ntilde;ez&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;stepped forward and the veteran playmaker &lt;strong&gt;found the net in the retake.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;Watch: James Rodriguez scores&amp;nbsp;second penalty shot&amp;nbsp;to give&amp;nbsp;Colombia the lead&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;This is a must-win for Colombia to have any hope of sealing a place in the playoffs. Peru are momentarily&amp;nbsp;holding on to fifth place but this James goal could prove useful&lt;strong&gt; if La Blanquirroja&amp;nbsp;suddenly lose the lead.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Despite it looked like a risky move for the Colombian, he started to get back to his best with &lt;strong&gt;Al-Rayyan&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;James has &lt;strong&gt;three goals and four assists in nine league appearances&lt;/strong&gt; with the &lt;strong&gt;Qatar Stars League&lt;/strong&gt; outfit this season. He might be a bit far from the spotlight but, at 30,&amp;nbsp;it seems that the playmaker&amp;nbsp;is starting to get his career back on track.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;However, the former &lt;strong&gt;Real Madrid&lt;/strong&gt; star has recently suggested he &lt;strong&gt;would be open to leaving&lt;/strong&gt; Qatar in the near future. &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/offside/report-james-rodriguez-centerpiece-of-bayern-munich-parting-back-in-2018-which-led-to-manager-sacking-20211117-0025.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;James&lt;/a&gt; is under contract until 2024 but said he &lt;strong&gt;would like to play in Europe again or&amp;nbsp;join the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/mls-2022-preview-predictions-takes-and-awards-for-the-new-season-20220221-0016.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;MLS&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;James Rodriguez reveals he would leave Al-Rayyan to return to Europe or join the MLS&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&quot;The team has not been able to get results in the league, but we&rsquo;re doing well in the Cup, the idea is to win it,&quot;&lt;/em&gt; James Rodriguez said on &lt;em&gt;Twitch&lt;/em&gt;, as quoted by &lt;em&gt;Diario Ol&eacute;&lt;/em&gt; in Spanish. &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&quot;At least I&rsquo;m playing. I&rsquo;m doing well.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&quot;&lt;strong&gt;I&rsquo;ve already played many games, I&rsquo;m happy about that because it&rsquo;s been a long time since I&rsquo;ve played so many games in a row&lt;/strong&gt;. I&rsquo;m scoring goals, providing assists, and &lt;strong&gt;that&rsquo;s why I came here, to be able to play and get into a rhythm, and to see what happens next as well&lt;/strong&gt;.&quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;James did say he's happy for his playing time in Qatar but that doesn't mean he won't consider a move away. &lt;em&gt;&quot;I don&rsquo;t know, you never know what will happen,&quot;&lt;/em&gt; he said when asked how long he would play in Qatar. &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&quot;Although I would like to go somewhere else.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&quot;Phyisically I&rsquo;m perfect, I&rsquo;m healthy. &lt;strong&gt;They ask me if I would return to Europe, why not?&lt;/strong&gt; I have the conditions for that, I&rsquo;m getting into a rhythm. &lt;strong&gt;A good option would be the United States&lt;/strong&gt;,&quot;&lt;/em&gt; James added.&lt;/p&gt;

James Rodriguez suggests he would leave Qatar for Europe return or MLS move

&lt;p&gt;Images have begun to surface of &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/offside/report-james-rodriguez-centerpiece-of-bayern-munich-parting-back-in-2018-which-led-to-manager-sacking-20211117-0025.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;James Rodriguez&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&rsquo;s quick thinking that possibly saved the life of Ousmane Coulibaly. Over the weekend in the Qatar League, Rodriguez had suited up for Al-Rayyan against Al-Wakrah. During the first half in a routine play Coulibaly, while defending the Al-Wakrah goal, collapsed inside the goal.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;It has now been determined by doctors that Coulibaly went into cardiac arrest and was convulsing on the pitch, then &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/colombia-vs-paraguay-tv-channel-how-and-where-to-watch-or-stream-live-online-free-2022-world-cup-qualifiers-20211116-0006.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;James Rodriguez&lt;/a&gt; ran up to the defender and performed a life-saving move on Coulibaly&rsquo;s head, positioning it properly until medical staff arrived.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;The Al-Wakrah doctors confirmed that the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/james-rodriguez-could-get-lengthy-ban-in-qatar-stars-league-after-controversial-episode-20211101-0020.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Colombian&rsquo;&lt;/a&gt;s quick thinking in positioning Coulibaly&rsquo;s head saved the defender&rsquo;s life. &lt;strong&gt;Coulibaly was rushed to the hospital to continue treatment and the game suspended.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;James Rodriguez saved the life of Ousmane Coulibaly&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Ousmane Coulibaly is in the hospital recuperating from the incident and is in stable condition. &lt;strong&gt;The game itself was suspended and later continued on Monday where James Rodriguez scored two goals for an Al-Rayyan win by 3-0.&lt;/strong&gt; Al-Rayyan is eighth in the standings and Rodriguez seems to have found his groove again in the Qatar League.&lt;/p&gt;

James Rodriguez performs life-saving treatment on opposing defender who went into cardiac arrest

&lt;p&gt;Despite putting up some decent numbers at &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/bundesliga-t111&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Bayern Munich&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/james-rodriguez-t114&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;James Rodriguez &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;may now be remembered for being the &ldquo;mastermind&rdquo; of a forbidden night out with his Bayern teammates. &lt;strong&gt;During a preseason tour in the United States the German giants were playing high caliber opponents in &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/juventus-t12&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Juventus&lt;/a&gt;, Manchester City, and Manchester United&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Bayern, who would eventually go on to win the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/bundesliga-t111&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Bundesliga&lt;/a&gt; title, had a good run of form in those matches and before the Manchester United game, Niko Kovac, the coach at the time, told the players that the team&rsquo;s night out request was not granted, stating: &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&quot;We have to be focused and concentrated. The first Bundesliga game awaits us in six weeks. Celebrating is not possible in preparation.&quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Well James Rodriguez took offense to that and he along with David Alaba, Rafinha and Franck Ribery&lt;/strong&gt; organized a night on the town in Miami, and the group snuck out of the hotel the team was staying at&amp;nbsp;and had a night filled with forbidden fun.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;According to Bild, the group of players went out and did not return until 6AM the following morning.&lt;/strong&gt; James Rodriguez is said to have filmed much of the night's activities and shared them in a WhatsApp group created by those who were committing the infractions.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Kovac&rsquo;s brother, Robert was an assistant manager at the time, saw the players leaving and did not speak to them or bring up the situation afterward.&lt;strong&gt; During the season Bayern did win three titles, all domestic, Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal, and the DFL-Supercup.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Kovac, who now coaches Monaco, &amp;nbsp;was eventually sacked at the start of the following season, and the Bild report indicates that when management found out that Kovac did not hand out punishment to the players for their preseason night out it was a sign of not &ldquo;&lt;em&gt;respecting the manager&rdquo;&lt;/em&gt; and began to lead to his sacking.&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

Report: James Rodriguez centerpiece of Bayern Munich parting back in 2018 which led to manager sacking

&lt;p&gt;He caught the world's eye in the &lt;strong&gt;2014 FIFA World Cup&lt;/strong&gt; in &lt;strong&gt;Brazil&lt;/strong&gt; with &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/colombia-t18091&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Colombia&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and made a fantastic move to &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/real-madrid-t23&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Real Madrid&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. But &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/james-rodriguez-t114&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;James Rodriguez&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;'s career&amp;nbsp;eventually went downhill and it seems like &lt;strong&gt;he's struggling to bounce back&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;At 30 years of age, the former &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/porto-t110856&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Porto&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;AS Monaco&lt;/strong&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/bayern-munich-t112&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bayern Munich&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; star left &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/everton-t44&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Everton&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; after just one season in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/premier-league-t45&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Premier League&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, which didn't end well as injuries caught up with him. With &lt;strong&gt;Carlo Ancelotti&lt;/strong&gt; gone and &lt;strong&gt;Rafael Benitez&lt;/strong&gt; at the helm of the Toffees, James decided to make a shocking switch to&amp;nbsp;Qatari side &lt;strong&gt;Al-Rayyan&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;But his spell in the &lt;strong&gt;Qatar Stars League&lt;/strong&gt; hasn't begun as expected, as the playmaker struggled to be match fit. And, even when he&amp;nbsp;returned to action, James suffered new problems. &lt;strong&gt;Now, he's facing a potentially lengthy suspension&lt;/strong&gt; after a controversial episode on the weekend.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:center&quot;&gt;

 &lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;James Rodriguez faces potentially lengthy suspension in Qatar Stars League&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;In his third Qatar Stars League appearance on Saturday when Al-Rayyan lost 2-1 to &lt;strong&gt;Al Arabi&lt;/strong&gt;, James Rodriguez &lt;strong&gt;was sent off shortly before the final whistle&lt;/strong&gt; in what has been a bizarre episode that could prove costly for him.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Everything began when James received an ugly foul from&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Aaron-Salem Boupendza&lt;/strong&gt; in the edge of the box. The Colombian player &lt;strong&gt;went mad against the referee for not showing the red card to the Al Arabi man but he picked up a yellow card for protesting&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:center&quot;&gt; 
 &lt;div class=&quot;ck-youtube&quot; id=&quot;youtube-23&quot; style=&quot;display: inline-block;&quot;&gt; 
  &lt;iframe allow=&quot;accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture&quot; allowfullscreen frameborder=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;315&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/L-uzHUBoNAw&quot; title=&quot;YouTube video player&quot; width=&quot;560&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt; 
  &lt;span class=&quot;item first&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 
  &lt;span class=&quot;item second&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 
  &lt;span class=&quot;item third&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 
 &lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;That only made things worse, with James losing&amp;nbsp;his head &lt;strong&gt;as his teammates tried to calm him down, but to no avail&lt;/strong&gt;. In a shocking turn of events, James, who received the terrible foul, ended up seeing a second yellow card, being&amp;nbsp;sent off and &lt;strong&gt;facing a possible ban of&amp;nbsp;4 to&amp;nbsp;24 games&amp;nbsp;for aggresive behavior against the referee and unsportsmanlike conduct&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Sadly, James has also finished that game with a &lt;strong&gt;rib injury&lt;/strong&gt; that will keep him on the sidelines for a few days, the club informed. James has played three league games (W1 L2) with Al-Rayyan, scoring a goal and producing an assist. And his slow&amp;nbsp;start to life in the Qatar Stars League &lt;strong&gt;could suffer another setback&lt;/strong&gt; depending on the sanction he receives.&lt;/p&gt;

James Rodriguez could get lengthy ban in Qatar Stars League after controversial episode

&lt;p&gt;Back in the day, &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/james-rodriguez-t114&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;James Rodriguez&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;wouldn't miss an &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/international-t92967&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;international&lt;/a&gt; fixture unless he was ruled out with a serious injury or suspended. &lt;strong&gt;But things have changed&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;and &lt;strong&gt;Reinaldo Rueda&lt;/strong&gt; hasn't called him up to the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/colombia-t18091&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Colombia&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;national team - again.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;The&amp;nbsp;30-year-old playmaker, who shone&amp;nbsp;at&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/real-madrid-t23&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Real Madrid&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and recently at &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/everton-t44&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Everton&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/premier-league-t45&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Premier League&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, won't be part of Los Cafeteros' squad for the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/south-american-2022-world-cup-qualifiers-table-standings-and-results-20210902-0037.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;South American 2022 World Cup Qualifiers&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; triple-fixture in October.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;But how come one of the country's&amp;nbsp;most gifted players is missing the national team roster again? Here, we'll break down why James Rodriguez isn't playing against &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/south-american-world-cup-qualifying-2022-october-schedule-20211006-0017.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Uruguay, Brazil, and Ecuador&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;span class=&quot;item third&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 
 &lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;Why wasn't James Rodriguez called up by Colombia for the October fixtures?&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;To explain why&amp;nbsp;James isn't part of the Colombia national team, we have to go back to June, when Rueda opted to leave him out of the roster for the first time ahead of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/copa-america-t25985&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2021 Copa America&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. He wasn't fully recovered from an injury-marred&amp;nbsp;end of&amp;nbsp;season with Everton, but&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;his reaction only made things worse&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;James &lt;strong&gt;took it personal and showed himself frustrated&lt;/strong&gt; for not being part of the squad. That didn't help to change Rueda's mind and he &lt;strong&gt;wasn't called up to the September fixtures either&lt;/strong&gt;. But he isn't at his best right now.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;James Rodriguez &lt;strong&gt;hasn't played a single minute this season&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;and the coaching staff of his current club &lt;strong&gt;Al-Rayyan&lt;/strong&gt; have even stated he isn't match fit yet. So, &lt;strong&gt;those are the reasons why James wasn't re-called&lt;/strong&gt; by Colombia.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

Why isn't James Rodriguez playing for Colombia in Conmebol World Cup Qualifying?

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/james-rodriguez-t114&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;James Rodriguez&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&rsquo;s days at&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/everton-t44&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt; Everton&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;and the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/english-premier-league-2021-2022-schedule-20210812-0017.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Premier League&lt;/a&gt; seem to be numbered as the 30-year-old Colombian international has flown to Qatar to sign for a new team, while he intends to mutually part ways with Everton.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In a report from 90min,&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/transfer-rumor-weston-mckennie-may-leave-juventus-3-premier-league-teams-interested-20210824-0006.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt; Everton&lt;/a&gt; and James Rodriguez had been negotiating a termination of the players contract since the summer&lt;/strong&gt;, but a proper destination and transfer fee was not received by the club and talks were put on hold. Now it would seem that Everton will need to bite the bullet and release Rodriguez as a way to relieve themselves of the &pound;200,000 a week wage Rodriguez earns.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/evertons-james-rodriguez-has-a-loan-deal-on-the-table-from-a-turkish-team-that-would-pay-a-portion-of-his-4.6-million-salary-20210906-0012.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;James Rodriguez was the subject of a transfer rumor to Turkey&lt;/a&gt; earlier this month but said transfer fell through&lt;/strong&gt;, along with his limited appearances and injuries new Everton manager Rafael Ben&iacute;tez has made him surplus. Now it would seem that a team in Qatar wants to sign James Rodriguez, find out who that club is.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;James Rodriguez to Qatar&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:center&quot;&gt;

  &lt;/figcaption&gt; 
 &lt;/figure&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;The club in question is &lt;strong&gt;Al Rayyan&lt;/strong&gt;, who are coached by former French World Cup winner Laurent Blanc. &amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Al Rayyan have won eight championships in the Qatar Stars League, and the new season&amp;nbsp;kicked off on September 11th. &lt;/strong&gt;For Rodriguez it is a surprising destination considering he was the subject of a possible move to clubs like AC Milan, FC Porto, and Sevilla.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;In total Rodriguez played 23 games for Everton and scored 6 goals, with the dips in form and constant injuries his signing was considered a disappointment by the fans and media pundits.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;According to reports all that is left is to put pen to paper for James Rodriguez to join Al Rayyan. &lt;/strong&gt;Both sides need to determine how much the player will earn in terms of wages and for the player to be released by Everton officially. The Qatar league is known to pay international players a lot of money, but what this means for Rodriguez's international future remains to be seen.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:center&quot;&gt;

 &lt;/figure&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Rodriguez has not been selected by the Colombian national team in their recent World Cup qualifiers and have climb the standings without the midfielder who now puts that part of his career at risk given how the Qatar league is perceived in soccer circles.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;At one time Rodriguez was the subject of a potential move to MLS following his stint at Bayern Munich but those talks were put on hold when he signed for Everton.&lt;/strong&gt; Now it would seem that the Colombian&rsquo;s future is in Qatar as all that is needed is to come to terms on the new deal.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Everton at the moment sit sixth in the Premier League standings having won 3 games, drawn 1, &amp;nbsp;and lost 1, their first loss came last week to Aston Villa 3-0.&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

Transfer Rumors: Everton’s James Rodriguez to Qatar: Find out which team wants him

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/james-rodriguez-t114&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;James Rodr&iacute;guez&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; has gone down the pecking order, the once promising Colombian midfielder is at a crossroads as Everton is looking to offload Rodr&iacute;guez and his high salary. The former &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/real-madrid-t23&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Real Madrid&lt;/a&gt; midfielder arrived at Goodison Park last season and made 23 appearances and scored 6 goals for &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/everton-t44&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Everton&lt;/a&gt; in the Premier League.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;James Rodr&iacute;guez is reportedly on Everton books for &pound;4,680,000, a high salary considering the return of investment which was filled with inconsistency and injuries during his first season at the club. &lt;strong&gt;Now according to reports out of the BBC, &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/james-rodriguez-ready-to-leave-vverton-agent-offers-him-to-big-teams-20210624-0005.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Everton would be more than willing to part with the Colombian&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;if&amp;nbsp;the right deal came along.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Those reports have indicated that a Turkish club would be willing to acquire James Rodr&iacute;guez on loan and pay a portion of his salary during the course of the season. &lt;strong&gt;The transfer would need to be done by Wednesday the latest. Find out who is the Turkish team after &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/2022-world-cup-qualifiers-why-is-james-rodriguez-not-playing-for-colombia-20210901-0001.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;James Rodr&iacute;guez&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;Istanbul Basaksehir looking to bring in James Rodr&iacute;guez on loan&lt;/h2&gt;

  &lt;figcaption&gt;

  &lt;/figcaption&gt; 
 &lt;/figure&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;According to the BBC report, second to last place Istanbul Basaksehir is keen on bringing in the Colombian midfielder and pay a portion of his wages.&lt;/strong&gt; Everton&rsquo;s new manager Rafa Ben&iacute;tez is not completely sold on the Colombian and would prefer other options, so Everton seem okay to execute the deal.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;James Rodr&iacute;guez has experienced a sort of fall from grace after a stint at Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. &lt;strong&gt;His time at Everton has not lived up to expectations and he is currently off of the Colombian national team.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;It is reported that the move can be executed if James Rodr&iacute;guez accepts the loan, but just how much he would want to play for a near bottom of the table club in Turkey remains to be seen. &lt;strong&gt;James Rodr&iacute;guez was the subject to a move to MLS last year and while that did not materialize it could still happen in the future.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Transfer Rumor: Everton’s James Rodríguez has a loan deal on the table from a Turkish team that would pay a portion of his £4.6 million salary

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/colombia-t18091&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Colombia&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;are getting ready for their return to competition at the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/betting/conmebol-world-cup-qualifiers-matchday-9-picks-20210831-0026.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;South American World Cup Qualifiers 2022&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt; The Cafeteros will play against &lt;strong&gt;Bolivia&lt;/strong&gt; on Thursday, September 2 to open the triple matchday of this international window. However, fans will miss &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/james-rodriguez-t114&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;James Rodr&iacute;guez&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, who wasn&rsquo;t called on for the team.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;As it already happened on the previous date and during the Copa Am&eacute;rica in Brazil, Reinaldo Rueda has decided not to count with &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/everton-t44&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Everton&rsquo;s&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;midfielder. Rodriguez was once the heart and soul of the team but he definitely has lost that place.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

This time the explanation is different. Here, check out why the former Real Madrid player isn&rsquo;t in Colombia&rsquo;s squad.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;Why&amp;nbsp;isn&rsquo;t James Rodr&iacute;guez in Colombia&rsquo;s roster?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;The No. 10&amp;nbsp; of Colombia has been going through a difficult time for a couple of months. After suffering from various muscular issues at the end of the season with Everton, James wasn&rsquo;t fit to play for the Copa America. At least, that&rsquo;s what Rueda explained. But to the player, it was just a&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; &ldquo;managerial decision&rdquo;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Rodr&iacute;guez publicly addressed his sadness for not being called to play in the Copa America. &lt;em&gt;&quot;It's a decision from the coaching staff which I don't agree with because they disrespected me,&quot;&lt;/em&gt; James said. These words seem to imply that it was some &lt;strong&gt;kind of problem &lt;/strong&gt;between the player and the coach.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;While it might be something about their relationship, it seems like Reinaldo Rueda simply doesn&rsquo;t think James is fit enough to play with the team. An assumption that it doesn&rsquo;t seem so crazy after James hasn&rsquo;t played a single minute with&lt;strong&gt; Everton&lt;/strong&gt; this season and he was trying to &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/transfer-rumors-james-rodriguez-yerry-mina-among-6-players-everton-want-to-sell-20210716-0004.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;solve his future.&lt;/a&gt; Also, he&rsquo;s been isolated due to close contact with a positive Covid-19 case.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

2022 World Cup Qualifiers: Why is James Rodríguez not playing for Colombia?

&lt;p&gt;It's not unusual to see a team clean house and get rid of multiple players whenever a new manager steps in. That's precisely what &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/everton-t44&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Everton&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; are looking forward to doing right now in an attempt to give&lt;strong&gt; Rafa Benitez &lt;/strong&gt;the players he needs to thrive in the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/premier-league-t45&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;English Premier League &lt;/a&gt;and clinch a spot in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/champions-league-t24&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;UEFA Champions League.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;The team's front office has given the Spaniard boss &lt;strong&gt;plenty of confidence &lt;/strong&gt;and vowed to release some funds to let him acquire some new players, meaning that they'll have to part ways with several of their current assets.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;So, according to multiple reports, the team would look to sell at many as six players, with &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/colombia-t18091&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Colombian&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; duo &lt;strong&gt;James Rodriguez and Yerry Mina &lt;/strong&gt;as the two biggest names on the list right now.&lt;/p&gt;

Benitez's appointment has been met with skepticism from sections of the Everton support, given his obvious ties with rivals Liverpool, but he insists his allegiances will be quickly forgotten if he brings success back to Goodison Park,&quot; &lt;/em&gt;reported&lt;strong&gt; 90min.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&quot;To do that, though, he has admitted that players must be sold, and the Telegraph say that as many &lt;strong&gt;as six major players&lt;/strong&gt; could be offloaded to raise funds,&quot; &lt;/em&gt;the report concluded.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Besides the aforementioned Rodriguez and Mina, Everton wouldn't mind parting ways with&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Andre Gomes, Bernard, Fabian Delph, and Cenk Tosun&lt;/strong&gt; as well to find some funds for Benitez.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

   &amp;nbsp; 
 &lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;It goes without saying that Everton will have a tough time competing with the likes of &lt;strong&gt;Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea, and Manchester City&lt;/strong&gt; for the top of the EPL table but still, their current roster has plenty of room for improvement.&lt;/p&gt;

Transfer Rumors: James Rodriguez, Yerry Mina among 6 players Everton want to sell

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/copa-america-2021-why-aren-t-james-rodriguez-and-radamel-falcao-on-colombia-s-roster-20210615-0011.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;James Rodriguez&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;could be on his way out of&lt;strong&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/premier-league-t45&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Premier League&lt;/a&gt; side &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/everton-t44&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Everton&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; due to the club&rsquo;s issues with financial fair play. It has also been reported that the Colombian was not happy that Carlo Ancelotti left the club to return to Real Madrid, as he was one of the main reasons why he chose to play for Everton.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/colombia-t18091&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Colombian&lt;/a&gt; only showed glimpses of his best self at Everton as injuries sidelined him for large chunks of the season, still, the midfielder was able to score 6 goals in 23 games. &lt;strong&gt;It has been reported in the Daily Mail that his agent has offered James Rodriguez to various clubs in Europe.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;If Rodriguez were to leave, Everton would clear up his large wage and receive a transfer fee. Rodriguez on the other hand would try to reestablish his career at a top club, after a rather disappointing spell with Everton. &lt;strong&gt;Here are the possible destinations for James Rodriguez.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;AC Milan&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:center&quot;&gt; 
 &lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot; style=&quot;display:inline-block&quot;&gt; 
  &lt;img data-height=&quot;412&quot; data-width=&quot;740&quot; data-size=&quot;w:740,h:412&quot; hspace=&quot;5&quot; vspace=&quot;5&quot; src=&quot;/__export/1624544768344/sites/bolavip/img/2021/06/24/james_rodriguez_of_everton_battles_for_possession_with_lucas_moura_of_tottenham_crop1624544767868.jpg_22069893.jpg&quot; width=&quot;740&quot; height=&quot;412&quot;&gt;

 &lt;/figure&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;James Rodriguez has always been looked upon favorably by &lt;strong&gt;AC Milan&lt;/strong&gt; in the past. With the recent transfer of Hakan Calhanoglu, Milan are in search of a playmaker and the Colombian fits the bill as the Italian club looks to make a serious run for Serie A this season.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;Napoli&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:center&quot;&gt; 
 &lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot; style=&quot;display:inline-block&quot;&gt; 
  &lt;img data-height=&quot;412&quot; data-width=&quot;740&quot; data-size=&quot;w:740,h:412&quot; hspace=&quot;5&quot; vspace=&quot;5&quot; src=&quot;/__export/1624544831134/sites/bolavip/img/2021/06/24/james_rodriguez_of_everton_crop1624544830599.jpg_22069893.jpg&quot; width=&quot;740&quot; height=&quot;412&quot;&gt; 
  &lt;figcaption&gt;

  &lt;/figcaption&gt; 
 &lt;/figure&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Napoli &lt;/strong&gt;could be another Italian destination for Rodriguez and would almost automatically fight for a starting position. If AC Milan does not materialize, then a move to Naples could be in the cards for the midfielder.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;Atl&eacute;tico Madrid&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:center&quot;&gt; 
 &lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot; style=&quot;display:inline-block&quot;&gt; 
  &lt;img data-height=&quot;412&quot; data-width=&quot;740&quot; data-size=&quot;w:740,h:412&quot; hspace=&quot;5&quot; vspace=&quot;5&quot; src=&quot;/__export/1624544911780/sites/bolavip/img/2021/06/24/diego_simeone_crop1624544911279.jpg_22069893.jpg&quot; width=&quot;740&quot; height=&quot;412&quot;&gt; 
  &lt;figcaption&gt;

  &lt;/figcaption&gt; 
 &lt;/figure&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Diego Simeone&lt;/strong&gt; is no stranger when it comes to revitalizing the careers of world class talents. Simeone is very familiar with Rodriguez as he saw his development in Argentina and later while coaching in Spain. With Luis Suarez, Jo&atilde;o F&eacute;lix, and &Aacute;ngel Correa, James could jump right in and contribute.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;Real Madrid&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:center&quot;&gt; 
 &lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot; style=&quot;display:inline-block&quot;&gt; 
  &lt;img data-height=&quot;412&quot; data-width=&quot;740&quot; data-size=&quot;w:740,h:412&quot; hspace=&quot;5&quot; vspace=&quot;5&quot; src=&quot;/__export/1624544981373/sites/bolavip/img/2021/06/24/real_madrid_crop1624544980874.jpg_22069893.jpg&quot; width=&quot;740&quot; height=&quot;412&quot;&gt; 
  &lt;figcaption&gt;

  &lt;/figcaption&gt; 
 &lt;/figure&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;It looks farfetched that James Rodriguez would return to &lt;strong&gt;Real Madrid&lt;/strong&gt;, but with the recent return of Carlo Ancelotti, it could happen. Although Ancelotti saw the setbacks he had at Everton, would he take that gamble again?&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;MLS&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:center&quot;&gt; 
 &lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot; style=&quot;display:inline-block&quot;&gt; 
  &lt;img data-height=&quot;412&quot; data-width=&quot;740&quot; data-size=&quot;w:740,h:412&quot; hspace=&quot;5&quot; vspace=&quot;5&quot; src=&quot;/__export/1624545223835/sites/bolavip/img/2021/06/24/historic_crew_stadium_crop1624545223273.jpg_22069893.jpg&quot; width=&quot;740&quot; height=&quot;412&quot;&gt;

  &lt;/figcaption&gt; 
 &lt;/figure&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Major League Soccer&lt;/strong&gt; has long been a rumored possible destination for the Colombian. Apparently, he is on the list of A list players the league would like to entertain having. While no team has ever really flat out come out and gone after him, Rodriguez could be a major name for clubs in need of star power, the New York Red Bulls comes to mind.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
