On-loan Bayern Munich midfielder James Rodriguez has obtained a Spanish passport, meaning he won't take up one of three non-EU spots in Real Madrid's squad next season - should he return to the Bernabeu.
The Colombian playmaker is in the midst of a two-year loan in Bavaria, though recent reports have suggested that Die Roten will not look to make the move permanent this summer.
Rodriguez, however, is unlikely to return to the Real Madrid fold next season, despite obtaining Spanish nationality. That's according to Marca, who claim that Los Blancos have no intention of incorporating him into their plans for next season, despite enduring a miserable season.
