James Rodriguez is set to return to European football after a year in Saudi Arabia. The Colombian is set to sign for Greek side Olympiacos. According to Fabrizio Romano, the transfer is expected to be made official soon, with a medical assessment scheduled very soon. 

There is a verbal agreement in place between Al Rayyan and Olympiacos for the midfielder to move on a loan deal. And now, it seems only a matter of time before it is made official on their deadline day.

The player publicly stated that he would join Valencia if given the opportunity but nothing came of it. He surprisingly left Everton as a free agent to exit European football, but things have not exactly gone to plan for the 31-year-old, who can still have a few years at the top level. 

The former [Real Madrid](https://technosports.co.in/2022/09/14/carlo-ancelotti-luka-modric-replacem/) midfielder will reunite with Marcelo at Olympiacos, who has also signed as a new player for the Greek side. He left Los Blancos as a free agent at the end of the season, and is now set to take on a new adventure after establishing himself as a legend at the club.
