According to reports in Spain, Liverpool are interested in signing Rodriguez, who can operate both as an attacking midfielder and as a winger.

James Rodriguez

The 26-year-old Colombian international joined German club Bayern Munich from Spanish outfit Real Madrid on a two-year loan deal in the summer of 2017. The former FC Porto star, though, has suggested that he is happy at the Bundesliga club at the moment, and only he will decide his future.

Rodriguez told El Chiringuito, as translated by Goal.com: “For now, I’m only thinking about Bayern. No one knows what’ll happen in the future. My present is at Bayern, and it depends exclusively on me if I’m going to leave or stay.”

Rodriguez would be a much needed signing for Liverpool, who could do with someone of his quality following the recent departure of Philippe Coutinho to Barcelona in the January transfer window.

The Colombia international attacker has scored three goals and provided four assists in 10 Bundesliga starts for Bayern so far this season.

Bayern are going strong in the Bundesliga at the moment and are also one of the favorite to win the Champions League this season. Rodriguez joined Madrid from AS Monaco in the summer of 2014 for a transfer fee reported by The Guardian to be worth £63 million.

When Columbian International James Rodriguez signed for Real Madrid in 2014, it was believed to be a start of a journey of another expensive Galactico.

Manchester United target James Rodríguez could leave Real Madrid this summer.

However, things have not gone according to the plan for the former Monaco midfielder. He has been out of favor under both Zidane and Benitez this season and it seems the Columbian International may leave the club at the end of the season.

Agent Jorge Mendes has stated to club President Florentino Perez that there have been offers from various clubs including the likes of Juventus, PSG and Manchester United. However, it has also been reported that the price of around €80 million paid by Madrid to Monaco to bring the 24 year old to the Bernabeu will not be recovered.

Mendes has stated that there is a possibility of around €50 million to be recovered back. Although PSG have offered a better contract to the Columbian international, Juventus are also very much keen to see the signing happen.

However, United on the other hand will be waiting depending on the decision of their new manager, if there is one.

Chelsea midfield Eden Hazard has been eyed by many European Giants for a potential move in the summer. The Belgian has been a shadow of himself this season, but that didn't stop the likes of PSG and Real Madrid to show interest in him.

Real Madrid will attempt to finally sign Eden Hazard by offering one of their own big players as part of the deal.

Last month, before Chelsea met PSG in the first leg, Hazard made a bold comment about the French Giants that angered a lot of Chelsea fans. He said that it would be hard to say no to a club like PSG. Ever since his bad run of form, he's been tipped to move away from Stamford Bridge this summer, and according to reports from The Sun, Real Madrid have offered Chelsea a lucrative offer.

The report said that Real Madrid are looking to offer James Rodriguez to Chelsea in order to entice Hazard to the Santiago Bernabeu. Much like the Belgian, James himself has struggled for form scoring 5 goals in 18 appearances for Madrid and he has even been booed by Real Madrid supporters for his lacklustre performances this season. In 2014, before he chose to join the Galacticos, Chelsea had shown interest in him.

Also, Zidane has claimed before that he is a huge fan of Hazard and would love to see the Belgian at the Bernabeu. He said that after Ronaldo and Messi, Hazard is his third favourite player and has the potential to reach their heights. Hazard himself idolises the French maestro. He said he would love to work under Zidane, but claims he's happy at Chelsea for now.

"I always liked Zidane. Now I know the player by heart but don't know the coach at all, even if he's started very well at the Bernabeu. I'm also still under contract at Chelsea and I feel very good there." When asked if he would want to work with him at Madrid, he added: "Yes of course. When I was little, I watched him on television and the internet for hours. I talked Zidane and I ate Zidane. But, and I repeat it, I feel very good at Chelsea so it's not news."

Will Chelsea take this deal to regain their dominance? Or will they keep hold of their star man?
