The Colombian midfielder has been sought out by Premier League teams trying to lure him away from Los Blancos ever since he lost his starting spot with Rafa Benitez.

English Premier League teams such as Chelsea and Manchester United won't be happy with this news.

Following Real Madrid's 3-1 win against Napoli in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League, James Rodriguez revealed if he's ready to sail away from the Spanish capital next summer, as some media outlets expected. The player, who isn't quite fond of pouring his heart out in interviews, admitted he had considered leaving the club back in December, but given that his role with Los Blancos has changed, he will not ask his agent to search for other employment opportunities.

Rodriguez joined the Spanish giants following his amazing performance in the 2014 World Cup, but he saw his playing chances diminish in Rafa Benitez's short stint as Los Blancos' boss. Things didn't change that much under Zidane, but it seems like the South American playmaker is ready to fight for a regular spot in Zizou's starting XI.
