Napoli Prepared to Offer James Rodriguez Famous No.10 Shirt in Bid to Finalise Move From Real Madrid

James Rodriguez could be offered the No.10 shirt at Napoli, which has not been worn by another player since Diego Maradona's time at the club, as I Partenopei look to finalise the Colombian midfielder's move from Real Madrid.

Rodriguez's arrival is yet to be confirmed, with Madrid seeking a permanent transfer worth €50m, whilst Napoli would prefer an initial €10m loan deal alongside an option to buy at the end of the season for a further €30m.

Giving Rodriguez the iconic No. 10 shirt would likely infuriate Napoli's fans given Maradona's legendary status at the club.
