James Rodriguez has insisted he has no plans to return to Real Madrid – and says “no one wants him” at the Bernabeu.

The Colombian playmaker made a move to Everton in the summer after struggling for minutes under Zinedine Zidane at Los Blancos.

And despite suffering with injury issues Rodriguez has flourished at Goodison Park, scoring five goals and creating four assists in the Premier League so far.

His impressive form has led to some suggestions he could either return to Madrid or join another elite club in the summer.

But when asked about the rumours of a move during a live stream on Twitch Rodriguez shot down the speculation.

“It is not in my plans, to be honest,” he said. “Who knows what could happen in two, three or four years because anything can happen in football, but I don’t think so. At the moment no.”

When pushed about Madrid, he later went on to add: “No one wants me there. It is part of football.”

Rodriguez also refuted the claims that he is unhappy with life in England in an interview with Marca Claro earlier this week.

Speaking after the Toffee’s victory over bitter rivals Liverpool at the weekend, he said: “I am happy. We all know it is a new stage for me.

“At almost 30 years old, I am fine. I am happy for every new thing that is added to my life. It all adds up.

“It was tough [against Liverpool]. Everyone knows that Liverpool is a great team. I think they are in the top three teams of those who play good football.

“I’m happy to have helped my team win. Everton haven’t won [at Anfield] since 1999, so we’ve made history.

“I’m happy I was there. I hope we can continue this well.”
