According to the Liverpool Echo news portal, Everton manager Rafa Benitez has told James Rodriguez that he is not in his plans for the next Premier League season.

The news piece stated that the Colombian will not continue at Everton after a year where his performance was very inconsistent.

James Rodriguez is one of the players that Everton wants to sell in order to pay for new acquisitions, taking into account that they want to fight for qualifying positions in European competitions and that the Colombian does not seem to be the player that will help them compete for those positions.

The 30-year-old Colombian scored six times and assisted four goals in 23 appearances for Everton in 2020/2021 English Premier League season.
