Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has ruled out a buy-to-sell move for James Rodriguez this summer, stating that the club are not in the "human trafficking" business.
The 27-year-old is due to return to Real Madrid in June after a two-year loan spell with the Bundesliga champions.
Bayern have the option to purchase Rodriguez on a permanent deal for £37 million ($47m) but he is also the subject of interest from a number of top European clubs.
