Jorge Mendes is in Naples to negotiate the sale of James Rodriguez Real Madrid Agent will meet with the Italian club

Jorge Mendes landed in Naples on Thursday morning to negotiate James Rodriguez's potential move to Napoli.

Carlo Ancelotti's side remain very interested in bringing the Colombian to the club, although there has been a hold-up in terms of Real Madrid and Napoli reaching an agreement. As such, Mendes has travelled to the south of Italy to try and find a solution.

Real Madrid are asking for roughly 50 million euros for James, an amount Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis does not want to pay. Instead, the Partenopei would prefer a loan deal.

"I don't understand why Bayern Munich had the player given to them and we're asked to pay," said De Laurentiis, who hopes to please Ancelotti with James' arrival.

However, Atletico Madrid cannot be ruled out as they remain interested in the 28-year-old.

Mendes must first reach an agreement that satisfies James' economic wishes before acting as an intermediary between Real Madrid and Napoli to bring the deal to fruition.
