#4 James Rodriguez to Manchester United/Chelsea/PSG

One player who definitely needs to leave to get his career back on track is 2014 World Cup Golden Boot winner James Rodriguez. The Colombian superstar has been relegated to the first team sidelines under Zinedine Zidane and a player of his calibre will certainly be looking for an opportunity to showcase his class in another top level European club.

A lot of clubs have been credited with an interest in the playmaker. Premier League giants Manchester United and Chelsea are the favourites while Ligue 1 side Paris Saint-Germain are also seen as a viable destination for the Colombian.
