According to reports from Onda Cero, Real Madrid attacking midfielder James Rodriguez doesn’t want to leave Spain in the summer transfer window.
The Colombian international has dropped down the pecking order at Los Blancos under Zinedine Zidane, and the club could offload him in the summer. He is not in Zidane’s first-team plans for next season, and several Premier League are vying for his signature.
Rodriguez, who spent the last couple of season with Bayern Munich, doesn’t want to leave Spain, and instead wishes to join Real’s derby rivals Atletico Madrid instead.
The news will come as a blow for clubs like Newcastle, Everton and Wolves, who are showing keen interest in bringing him to the Premier League.
