Real Madrid 'to sell James Rodriguez this summer'

Real Madrid 'to sell James Rodriguez this summer'

Real Madrid reportedly have no plans to keep hold of James Rodriguez this summer despite the Colombian international receiving a Spanish passport.

James - currently on an extended loan at Bayern Munich - will no longer take up one of the non-EU spots in the Madrid squad, having gained a Spanish passport ahead of the 2019-2020 campaign.

However, according to Marca, the 27-year-old is not wanted by Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane next season and could therefore be sold on a permanent deal in this summer's transfer window.

The South American netted 11 times in 33 matches for Los Blancos during the 2016-17 season before moving to the Allianz Arena on a two-year loan.

Since arriving at Bayern, James - previously linked with a switch to the Premier League - has contributed 15 goals and 20 assists in 64 appearances in all competitions.
