James Rodriguez has revealed that Real Madrid blocked him leaving for a La Liga rival in the summer thought to be Atletico Madrid and wanted him to move elsewhere. The Colombian’s move to Los Blancos was one of, if not the, most high profile transfers in 2014, but his time in the Spanish capital has deteriorated year upon year, with the forward no longer in Zinedine Zidane’s plans. A two-year loan move to Bayern Munich in 2017 was seen as a chance to reignite his career, but the German side opted against signing him permanently and he returned to Madrid last summer.

The player has since revealed, however, that a move to a fellow La Liga side was on the cards, only for Real to reject the unnamed club’s proposal. “There was a very good proposal from a Spanish team, which Real Madrid rejected. I’d prefer not to say the name of the team,” James told Colombian news outlet Gol Caracol. “I thought it was a done deal, but they didn’t let me go to the club I wanted to join. They wanted me to go to another team.” ALSO READ: NFF, LMC, club owners decide on NPFL’s fate today Rodriguez also revealed that the Italian offer he received didn’t entice him, while offers from China were turned down due to his desire to remain in Europe. But, he’s featured just 14 times this season under Zidane and is keen to seek new pastures when the window reopens. He added: “There was an offer from Italy, but it didn’t convince me, I felt it wasn’t good. My representative, Jorge Mendes, told me that a proposal had come from China, but I replied that I would not go. I wasn’t willing to do it because I feel I can still give a lot in Europe. “I don’t know what will happen in the future, but if they give me a choice then I would choose a club where I could show my abilities and my potential.” Vanguard Kindly Share This Story:FacebookTwitterEmailWhatsAppPinterestShare Related Top six La Liga signings of the transfer window August 19, 2014 Tough early away days for Barca, Real Madrid September 1, 2014 10-man Madrid back on track with Espanyol win January 10, 2015 All rights reserved.

BTC outperforms precious metals in H1 2020

BTC has shown why it remains the favourite among global investors as data from Messari, a crypto analytic firm, revealed that in the first half of 2020 BTC gained more than 27% performing better than precious metals that include platinum gold and silver. The yellow precious metal underperformed BTC by nearly 11% points, despite surging to about 16% at the first half of 2020 and touching eight-year highs last month. Platinum and silver both ended the first half of 2020 with negative gains. Bitcoin’s strong performance is no shock to some analysts, especially in context of the benchmark cryptocurrency’s showing high correlation with global equity markets. “Given that equities are now near, or in some cases above, their highs reached in February, it’s not surprising to see BTC do the same,”  said Ryan Watkins, BTC analyst at Messari. Why compare returns from BTCs to gold or other precious metals?  “Gold is bitcoin’s most aspirational asset,”  explained Watkins . “Like BTC, g...
