Backstage: to convince him, they send him videos of the atmosphere

The article reports that Colombian footballer James Rodriguez is in advanced talks to join Avellino, a team in Italy's Serie B league, coached by Alessandro Nesta. Unlike his peak years, Rodriguez is now less sought after and has declined offers from other European clubs. The move appears to be driven by Nesta's personal influence, who has played a key role in persuading Rodriguez to consider joining the club. To further convince him, the club sent videos showcasing the enthusiastic atmosphere of football in Avellino and the region. Rodriguez is currently unsigned and eager to maintain playing time ahead of the Copa America. His potential signing would benefit both the team's performance and its image, especially considering his social media presence. The club's owners are evaluating the deal and could make another significant investment following their recent acquisition of Walid Cheddira.
