James Rodriguez s move from Real Madrid to Bayern Munich was the best decision he could make, according to his father.
After struggling for game time at the Santiago Bernabeu, James departed to the German giants on a two-year loan deal in July.
The Colombian has impressed in the Bundesliga, scoring four times and providing six assists in 16 games.
His father, Wilson Rodriguez, said the 26-year-old s decision to leave Madrid was a good one.
My son did well leaving Real Madrid for Bayern Munich, he is very happy in Germany, he told Marca Claro.

According to , Napoli coach Carlo Ancelotti is interested in bringing Paris Saint-Germain s Angel Di Maria to Naples.
The former Juventus, AC Milan, Chelsea, PSG and Bayern Munich boss has even made a telephone call directly to Di Maria, the report claims.

Rafinha has joined Celta Vigo on a season-long loan after signing a new deal at Barcelona.
The 26-year-old attacking midfielder is now contracted to his parent club until the end of the 2020-21 campaign but will spend another spell away from Camp Nou.
In January 2018, Rafinha joined Inter for the second half of that season before re-joining Ernesto Valverde s squad for 2018-19.

The Brazil international has featured in all three of Barca s LaLiga games so far this season, with Valverde short of wide attacking options as the likes of Lionel Messi and Ousmane Dembe…
Mikel Arteta is unsure whether Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will rediscover his best form in 2021-22.
Aubameyang signed a huge £250,000 per week contract at Emirates Stadium in September 2020 but then failed to live up to his billing as the Gunners slumped to eighth in the Premier League last term.
The former Borussia Dortmund forward endured by far the worst season of his Premier League career, contributing 10 goals along with three assists.
His 13 goal involvements were his fewest in a single campaign in England, including 2017-18 when he joined in the January and tallied 10 goals and four assists.
Aubameyang has turned 32 since the end of 2020-21 and it was put to manager Arteta on Thursday that this could be the start of an extended slum…
