LaLiga: Bellingham’s late goal gives Real Madrid ‘Clasico’ win to leave title in their grasp
The win leaves Real Madrid 11 points clear of Barcelona with just six games.
As per reports from multiple sources, La Liga side Real Madrid are looking to sell their star midfielder James Rodriguez despite the request of their manager Zinedine Zidane to allow James to stay in the team at least for this season.
A report carried by Don Balon states that Zidane is the only man in the Real Madrid management who is backing James Rodriguez while other management members, including the President of the club Florentino Perez, want the player to leave the club.
The Spanish weekly sports magazine further adds that the club President has already started talks with other clubs like Napoli and Atletico Madrid for the sale of their star player. However, no the deal is yet to materialise since the player himself has stated that he is not interested in leaving the Real Madrid camp.
