Exclusive information obtained by MLS Multiplex indicates that representatives from both teams have already approached James Rodríguez's agents, initiating a process that could lead to the player's departure from Brazilian soccer.

According to the received information, James Rodríguez has shown a particular enthusiasm for the projects of Real Salt Lake. However, he has requested time to assess all the scenarios involved, including his current situation at São Paulo FC. The Colombian player, known for his technical skills and vision on the field, is a valuable asset that could significantly contribute to American soccer.

Real Salt Lake recently lost their number 10, Savarino, who was transferred to Botafogo in Brazil. The sale of the player opened up a Designated Player slot in the roster, as well as an urgent need to fill the void left by Savarino. The search for a new number 10 is evident, and James Rodríguez emerges as an attractive option for the American team.

The potential transfer of James to Real Salt Lake would not only bring a significant boost to the team but also have an impact on Major League Soccer as a whole. The league has been aiming to attract internationally renowned players, and the arrival of a star of James Rodríguez's caliber could further elevate the prestige of MLS.

However, the negotiation process is far from simple. In addition to sporting considerations, the financial situation of São Paulo FC and James Rodríguez's salary demands may be determining factors. Sources also indicate that Besiktas from Turkey has presented a competitive project, making the player's decision even more complex.

The uncertainty surrounding James Rodríguez's stay at São Paulo FC has deepened in recent days, especially with the confirmation of his absence from team training and matches. The lack of opportunities since the change in coaching staff, coupled with rumors of payment delays, may have contributed to the player's decision to explore new possibilities.

Meanwhile, Real Salt Lake awaits James Rodríguez's decision, hopeful that the Colombian star could be the key piece to fill the void left by Savarino. The American club is aware of Besiktas' competition and is willing to present an appealing project to convince James to make the move to MLS.

The saga around James Rodríguez continues to capture everyone's attention as São Paulo FC, Real Salt Lake, and Besiktas eagerly await the outcome of this chapter that could have a significant impact on these teams' prospects in competitions.
