James to leave Olympiacos at end of season

Olympiacos player James Rodriguez has been the subject of interest from Galatasaray in recent months. His possible move to Istanbul has become even stronger in recent days, with Besiktas also positioning themselves in the race for the Colombian international.

The reality is that his future could be closer than ever to the Ottoman country. According to 'AS', the Colombian playmaker will not renew his contract with the Greek club and will be a free agent from June.

The reason is that Olympiacos are not interested in extending James' contract. Firstly, because the former Real Madrid player's high salary is unaffordable. In addition, another reason is that he does not meet the expectations placed on him.

As for the South American player himself, his desire is to continue in Europe. That is why Turkey could be a favourable destination to continue his career at the age of 31. Jorge Mendes is already making moves in the Ottoman market.
