Real Madrid Transfer News: James Rodriguez Exit Urged, Raphael Guerreiro Rumours

Real Madrid misfit James Rodriguez has been urged to leave the club by former Colombia manager Hernan Gomez, who has suggested Los Merengues boss Zinedine Zidane is to blame for the player's fall. Elsewhere, Los Blancos could lose out in the hunt for Lorient left-back Raphael Guerreiro.

Gomez worked as national team coach between 2010 and 2011, and he spoke to Colombian broadcaster WIN Sports this week, hinting that Zidane is to blame for Rodriguez's lack of form (h/t FourFourTwo):

I'll give James some advice. It's best for him to go to another team because it's been shown that the man doesn't want to play him.
