Journalist Javier Hernà¡ndez Bonnet has come out with a claim that James Rodràguez has the option to return to Real Madrid this summer as part of the agreement he originally signed with Everton last September.

“They tell me that yes, James Rodràguez does have the option to return to Real Madrid,” Bonnet told Blog Deportivo, relayed by the Colombian edition of Marca.

“The president (Florentino Pérez) wants him; the coach has asked for him.

“Obviously, those who arrive will have to reduce their salary, and James Rodràguez would be part of that reduction.

“The source says that James Rodriguez would have no cost for Real Madrid; he would recover an asset.

“Within the conditions of the move to Everton was that if he was asked for by any technical director he could return without cost.”

Rodràguez has predictably been linked with a return to the Spanish giants since Ancelotti departed Everton to replace Zinedine Zidane at the beginning of this month. The journalist says that both Carlo Ancelotti and club president, Florentino Perez, want him back at the Bernabeu.
