Napoli owner Aurelio De Laurentiis has said Real Madrid's "exaggerated expectations" are holding up James Rodriguez's transfer to the Partenopei, but the Colombia international wants to join up with Carlo Ancelotti in Italy.
De Laurentiis spoke to Corriere Dello Sport (h/t Football Italia) and praised James' media-friendliness but said Los Blancos have to be more reasonable with their requests to make the deal work:
"He is the player who, after Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi, is the most media-friendly. Carlo Ancelotti really likes him, and we are waiting for a more reasonable request.
