Real Madrid midfielder James Rodriguez reveals that the club have received an €85m (£71.5m) offer for him, but insists that he is staying at the Bernabeu this summer.

Real Madrid midfielder James Rodriguez has revealed that the club have received a big-money offer for him, but insists that he is going nowhere.

The 25-year-old struggled for regular first-team football under Zinedine Zidane last season, making just 17 league starts throughout the campaign.

The likes of Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United, Manchester City and West Ham United have all been linked with the Colombian, but he expressed his desire to fight for his place in the team.

"I will fight to earn my place. That's my dream. I will stay at Real Madrid, I will succeed here," he told Marca.

"I know that the club received an €85m (£71.5m) bid for me, but I'm not leaving."

Madrid signed James from Monaco for €80m (£67.3m) after the 2014 World Cup.
