J. Rodriguez: I want to stay in Madrid

Despite receiving an offer of 85 million euros from Real Madrid, James Rodriguez insists he wants to stay in the current team. The Colombian national team star is constantly linked in the media with a departure, as he lost his place in the starting lineup when Zinedine Zidane took over the reins of the "royal" club. Nevertheless, the attacking midfielder is ready to fight to regain his place. "I will fight for my place. This is my dream. I will remain in the ranks of Real Madrid and play successfully here," Rodriguez told Marca. "I know that the club received an offer of 85 million euros, but I will not leave." The 25-year-old footballer is being watched by Manchester United, Chelsea, and West Ham in London.
