Marseille emerge as a possible landing spot for James Rodriguez Real Madrid They've joined the hunt

James Rodriguez seems to have found himself a new suitor, with Marseille joining the pursuit of Real Madrid's unwanted Colombian.

The 28-year-old has two more years on his contract in the capital and Los Blancos aren't willing to loan him out again, hoping to sell him for a fee of around 40 million euros.

Napoli and Atletico Madrid have been interested for several weeks and are aware that the asking price won't come down, so Marseille also know they'll need to come up with the cash to get the deal done.

Their interest was reported in the Corriere dello Sport on Sunday, while the French side are also said to be close to acquiring Dario Benedetto of Boca Juniors.

James' place at Real Madrid is still unknown.

He is continuing to train with the team, but Zinedine Zidane has been pretty clear in his stance and he has no plans for the Colombian.

He played in Germany lasts season, and it's anyone's guess as to whether he plays in France, Italy or Spain this coming campaign.
