# Everton: Fans love Fabrizio Romano’s news on Real Madrid ace James Rodriguez

**Plenty of Everton fans have been reacting to a piece of transfer news coming from Fabrizio Romano via his official Twitter account.**

According to a [tweet](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1300381746169622530) from the football journalist, James Rodriguez is not training with Real Madrid as there are talks proceeding between the Merseyside club and Los Blancos with the aim of reaching an agreement over a transfer in the summer window.

The Toffees are apparently still ‘confident’ that they will sign the 29-year old as Carlo Ancelotti had already contacted him a week ago. Indeed, Rodriguez is a man that the Blues have been chasing and a recent [report](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/everton-fc-transfer-rumours/everton-fans-react-as-real-madrid-ace-james-rodriguez-agrees-personal-terms/) has claimed that he has already agreed personal terms.
