James Rodriguez rules out Real Madrid return and open to Serie A move amid rumours of Everton exit

The midfielder was linked with a move back to the Spanish giants but he doubts that will happen

James Rodriguez has ruled out ever returning to Real Madrid.

The midfielder spent six years at the Spanish giants, though two of those seasons were on loan at Bayern Munich.

Rodriguez left the Spanish capital last summer to join Everton, but rumours of a possible return began circulating when coach Carlo Ancelotti left the Toffees to take up a second spell at the Santiago Bernabeu.
