James Rodriguez appears to have signalled his intention to return to Real Madrid at the end of the season.

Rodriguez joined Bayern Munich on a two-year loan deal in the summer of 2017, reuniting him with former Los Blancos manager Carlo Ancelotti.

The Colombia international has not always been a first-team regular at the Allianz Arena however and has started just eight games in the Bundesliga under Niko Kovac this term.

Arsenal briefly considered a move for the former Porto and Monaco star during the January transfer window but the playmaker will finish the season in Germany.

While Bayern have the option to make his loan stay a permanent one, Rodriguez has hinted his preference is to return to the Spanish capital.

“In Madrid, I have everything such as my house and people who love me. We will have to see what happens but at the moment I have a contract with Bayern Munich,” he said following Wednesday’s Champions League draw with Liverpool.

"I just want to finish the season we will see what happens. I keep in touch with some Real Madrid players.”
