The Colombian player James Rodríguez revealed important details from behind the scenes of his transfer to Real Madrid, confirming that several major clubs were interested in signing him during that period.

James explained that Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City made substantial financial offers exceeding what Real Madrid proposed, in an attempt to sign him.

However, the player indicated that his goal was not money, but achieving major accomplishments and titles, which made him think differently when making his decision.
