Carlo Ancelotti's departure from Everton meant that James Rodriguez was no longer a part of the club's plans. Though rumors surrounded his exit in the summer, nothing materialized in that period.
The Colombian, rather than remaining until January will leave the Premier League for Qatar to join Al Rayyan. He will sign his new contract with the club soon.
No official announcement was made, but the Qatari club teased the arrival on their social media.
At 30 years old, James moves to find a new experience in Qatar, after playing for Banfield,l Porto, and Monaco. After World Cup 2014 he moved to Real Madrid for €75 million.
He never managed to live up to expectations for los blancos, he later joined Bayern Munich before ending up at Everton. James will move to Al-Rayyan as the latest stop in his career.
