#1 Juventus
Juventus are facing a managerial change this summer as Max Allegri will be leaving at the end of the season. Whoever comes in will look to reshuffle the present midfield. Aaron Ramsey has already signed from Arsenal on a free transfer earlier this year. A playmaker is missing in the Old Lady squad and this might make James Rodriguez a perfect fit in Turin.
A client of Jorge Mendes, it makes things easier as Joao Cancelo and Cristiano Ronaldo share the same agent which implies a good relationship is in place with the Juventus board and the Portuguese agent. Real Madrid and Juventus are also on good terms which makes things at the boardroom level negotiations better.
Cristiano Ronaldo has played with James at Real Madrid and the duo know how to complement each other on the field well, which makes all the more sense why James Rodriguez should be pursued by Juventus this summer.
