James Rodriguez favours Everton switch and 'the chance to link up with Carlo Ancelotti' as Real Madrid star is linked with move to Premier League

Real Madrid midfielder James Rodriguez is reportedly leaning towards a move to Everton above all other options this summer.

The Colombian returned from a two-year loan deal at Bayern Munich last summer, but has failed to nail down a regular first-team place at the Bernabeu this season.

With his contract expiring next summer, Madrid are looking to cash in and Rodriguez himself would be keen on a reunion with manager Carlo Ancelotti at Goodison Park, according to Spanish outlet Marca.
