The cycle has recently come to an end with Everton's midfield superstar, Jamez Rodriguez, firmly stating in an interview that he will not be returning to Real Madrid.
Last summer, Jamez Rodriguez moved from Real Madrid to Everton for a transfer fee of 25 million euros, and the Everton manager at that time was his mentor Carlo Ancelotti. In the last season, Jamez Rodriguez made 26 appearances for Everton, contributing 6 goals and 8 assists. However, due to injury problems, his attendance was not ideal, leaving fans a little disappointed with his performance. In the end, Everton finished 10th in the league with 59 points. Due to his poor form, Jamez Rodriguez failed to be selected for the Colombian national team. Meanwhile, Carlo Ancelotti left Everton to take over the Real Madrid coaching whip, and the current Everton manager Rafa Benitez and Hamels-Rodriguez's relationship with Real Madrid during their time was once tense, which also cast a shadow over the prospect of Hamels-Rodriguez's career at Everton.
Journalist Edu Aguirre has revealed that Rafa Benitez has told Jamez Rodriguez that he is no longer needed in the squad for the new season and that he will be allowed to leave if a suitable offer is made. Colombian TV station Gol Caracol, on the other hand, reported that Carlo Ancelotti has approached Real Madrid in the hope of signing back Jamez Rodriguez, and that President Florentino is ready to proceed with the matter despite his reservations. At Real Madrid, Jamez Rodriguez made 125 appearances, scoring 37 goals and assisting 42 times. When asked if he would return to Real Madrid, Jamez Rodriguez responded, "No, I don't think so. It's a cycle that has been closed and will not be repeated."
Speaking about his future, Jamez Rodriguez said, "I want to join a team that needs me. I've played in almost all the major leagues and Serie A is a good option for me. I've played in the Portuguese Premier League, La Liga, Ligue 1, Bundesliga and the English Premier League, and now all that's missing is Serie A. If I end up joining Serie A, I'll set a new record. I don't know how many people will be able to reach this achievement, but it should be very few." It is worth noting that Serie A side AC Milan have previously been rumored to be in talks with Jameis Rodriguez.
