James Rodriguez is reportedly weighing up a move to the Premier League, with the midfielder supposedly set to depart Real Madrid this summer.

The 28-year-old will see his current deal at the Bernabeu expire in 2021, and Rodriguez has been linked with a switch to the Premier League in recent weeks.

Arsenal, Everton and Wolverhampton Wanderers have all been credited with an interest in the Colombia international, who has only made seven league appearances for Zinedine Zidane's side during an injury-hit 2019-20 campaign.

According to Marca, the Premier League would be Rodriguez's most practical destination, and the midfielder would supposedly be given plenty of game time at any of the three sides mentioned.

The report also claims that the strong relationship between Rodriguez and Wolves agent Jorge Mendes could be a key factor in his decision, although he is supposedly keen on a reunion with Carlo Ancelotti at Everton.

Rodriguez has chalked up 37 goals in 124 appearances for Real since arriving from Monaco in 2014.
