A famed singer and fellow Colombian of the Bayern Munich playmaker, Pipe Pelaez, revealed for Spanish media outlet 'Radio Marca' a conversation he had with James Rodriguez just days before his move to the Bundesliga was announced.
"The last time I asked him, he said: 'The only thing I am certain about is that I don't want to be here anymore'. I didn't make any further questions," he said.
"That was on his birthday and I said: 'But what is going to happen?'. He said: 'I don't know, the only thing I can tell you is that I no longer want to be here'. 15 days later, he was in Munich. I understood my the move had happened shortly after," Pipe explained.
Last summer, James Rodriguez joined Bayern Munich on a two-year loan deal from Real Madrid, who will receive €40 million in 2019 if the German club decide to trigger the buy-out clause included in his contract.
