"We have consulted both clubs involved and the corresponding federations. Phil: Adam, there's been noises from various people for a while now, but there was a statement issued by one of his former clubs last night [Thursday] wasn't there? In James Rodríguez from Real Madrid, Everton announced one of the most prestigious signings in the club's history on Monday evening. “I can see the plans here, the project here is very serious. Whisper it, but quite a few Premier League clubs had an excellent summer transfer window. Market values .

Everton did not pay a single euro to Madrid. Update Sep. 17: Club Atlético Banfield have confirmed the Transfermarkt info in a club statement on Thursday. James Rodriguez should soon become an Everton player, after a delay in negotiations saw things drag on over the weekend, claims a report. It’s been established Madrid are trying to raise cash by selling players they don’t want this summer and Rodriguez fit into that category, so letting him go on a free would make no sense. A statement from Rodriguez's former club Banfield appeared to confirm that Everton had not paid a transfer fee to bring the 29-year-old to the club. Instead of a fee, Los Blancos secured themselves a sell-on clause, which would earn them a percentage of the Colombian’s next transfer fee. He's obviously class act and just because Real Madrid don't want him doesn't mean he's a busted flush or he's over the hill. And that certainly caused a lot of excitement in our latest Royal Blue podcast. Everton have signed Colombian playmaker James Rodriguez from Real Madrid on a two-year deal, with a Club option for a third season. Either way, Everton are pretty happy with what they’ve got, although if they have managed to sign Rodriguez on a free, it’s fair to suggest they’re probably elated. There's no question about it, he is not a free transfer is he? (…) Players like James and Allan can help us to be better and we can help them to be better. That platter was a free transfer. It is unclear exactly how much Everton have forked out for the former World Cup Golden Boot winner, but Real Madrid were believed to be demanding a fee in excess of £20million, despite him only having 10 months remaining on his contract at the Bernabeu. The fact that Real let James leave for free after paying €75 million to AS Monaco for him in 2014, is down to the current coronavirus situation. Update, September 9, 11:01 BST: Contrary to previous media reports, the midfielder is joining Everton on a free transfer.
