In the season that ended, Hames only appeared 20 times on the field in the starting line-up of Madrid in all competitions, which, according to his coach in the national team, is very small for such a gifted player.

"It's just incredible that a football player of this level plays so rarely," said Pekerman.

"His performances and contributions to the team play are very important. I have no doubt that the situation with his playing time will be resolved in one way or another ".

"In the Colombian national team he is completely committed to his cause and is one of the leaders. This attitude of Hames to the matter is important for us, because here we always require players to give 100%.

"I do not want to take responsibility and tell him what to do. Hames himself knows how to resolve the current situation, "- summed up the mentor.

According to rumors, in the current off-season, Rodriguez can leave Real Madrid. The main contenders for the midfielder are Chelsea and Manchester United.
