'It would be very nice' - Atletico CEO Gil Marin opens door to James crossing Madrid divide

Atletico Madrid CEO Gil Marin has admitted that it “would be very nice” if James Rodriguez were to cross the Madrid divide and join Los Rojiblancos.

The Real Madrid midfielder spent the last two seasons on loan at Bayern Munich, but has now returned to the Santiago Bernabeu after the Bundesliga champions opted not to make the move permanent.

The 28-year-old made 67 appearances for Bayern, scoring 15 goals and recording 20 assists, and has been strongly linked with a move to Napoli, where he would reunite with former Bayern manager Carlo Ancelotti.
