James closer to returning to Spain after terminating Sao Paulo contract

James' time at Sao Paulo is close to an end. According to Globo Esporte, the Colombian player has reached an amicable agreement with the Brazilian side to terminate his contract, which was due to expire on 30th June 2025.

The source said that the 'Tricolor Paulista', in exchange for his immediate release, has asked him to waive the amounts owed to him (unknown at the moment). The playmaker is currently in his home country and the whole matter has been taken care of by his agent.

The Copa America runner-up and 'MVP' of the tournament had decided to leave Sao Paulo this summer and even more knowing that he was not part of Luis Zubeldia's plans. The player from Cucuta is in favour of returning to La Liga in Spain and there is speculation about Atletico Madrid and Villarreal.

Fabrizio Romano, an eminence in the transfer market, also confirmed that James is on the verge of leaving the Brazilian team and indicated that the playmaker would like to return to European football.

In this way, the Colombian footballer is going to end his time in Sao Paulo, in which he has scored 2 goals and 4 assists after 22 games played in almost 12 months. His great Copa America will help him to have a new opportunity and a new big contract.
