Rayo Vallecano president Martín Presa has expressed his delight at the recent signing of Colombian football star James Rodríguez on a free transfer. The president drew parallels between this acquisition and Diego Maradona's iconic move to Napoli in 1984, emphasizing the significance of Rodríguez's arrival for the Madrid-based club.
The announcement of Rodríguez's transfer was made on Monday, with Presa revealing that fellow Colombian Radamel Falcao played a key role in facilitating the unexpected move. Presa disclosed that he personally contacted Rodríguez a month ago, leveraging their mutual connection through Falcao to explore the possibility of the transfer.
