Prominent Italian sports daily La Gazzetta dello Sport has claimed that Real Madrid accepted an €85 million offer from Inter last summer for Colombian play-maker James Rodriguez.
 

The pink journal states that new owners the Suning Group had sanctioned the bid and that the offer was OK’d by Los Blancos President Florentino Perez despite his reluctance to sell the 25-year-old. Unfortunately for the nerazzurri, the player declined a move to Italy preferring to stay at the Santiago Bernabeu.
