James set to stay at Real Madrid Real Madrid According to Spanish TV host Josep Pedrerol

James Rodriguez's future likely lies at Real Madrid as things currently stand, despite interest from Napoli and Atletico Madrid.

The Colombian had been expected to depart this summer, but recent events have seen things take a turn and now it appears as though he'll be working under Zinedine Zidane's orders in the 2019/20 season.

Marco Asensio's anterior cruciate ligament injury, which will see the Spaniard miss most of next season, could play a big part in the club's decision over the 2014 World Cup Golden Boot winner's future.

"James will stay at Real Madrid," said Josep Pedrerol, host of El Chiringuito de Jugones.

"That's the club's decision at the moment."

James' agent, Jorge Mendes, has been in Naples this week to discuss a move to the Stadio San Paolo.
