James Rodriguez 'Stopped' Talks With Napoli as Varying Reports Emerge Over Atletico Interest

Colombia international James Rodríguez has apparently 'stopped' negotiations over a summer move to Napoli, with conflicting reports now emerging over a potential move to Atlético Madrid.

The 27-year-old is one of the players who have been put up for sale by Real Madrid ahead of the new season, having failed to secure a permanent move to Bayern Munich following a two-year loan spell in Bavaria.

It's been widely reported that Rodríguez would be bought by Napoli manager Carlo Ancelotti for the third time in his career, but journalist Hugo Condés claims that the Colombian turned his back on a move to the Stadio San Paolo.
