The super-agent is hard at work ahead of the upcoming summer transfer window.
With Zinedine Zidane ready to offload his Colombia international playmaker, potential suitors are being identified.

Mendes could earn him a move to Paris Saint-Germain, who are strongly interested
But according to Spanish outlet Don Balon, the 34-year-old has had disagreements about an extension.
The Portuguese wanted a two-year deal, however Madrid have only been willing to offer another 12 months.
As a result, Pepe has been motivated to find a new club for the latter stages of his career.
And Mendes could earn him a move to Paris Saint-Germain, who are strongly interested.
Both James Rodriguez and Pepe look set to leave Real Madrid in the summer
Pepe wants to play at the 2018 World Cup, so competing at the top level still with PSG would boost his chances.
Meanwhile, Rodriguez could end up at Manchester United, according to Spanish TV show Chiringuito.
Mendes is in charge of a potential link up with Jose Mourinho this summer.
Rodriguez has apparently told Madrid president Florentino Perez he wants out if Zidane stays in charge.
