James Rodriguez "has problems" with Zinedine Zidane, according to his former team-mate Arturo Vidal, who has urged the Real Madrid outcast to secure a move away from the club this summer.
After watching James finish as the top scorer in the 2014 World Cup for Colombia, Madrid forked out €75 million (£68m/$85m) to bring him to Santiago Bernabeu from Monaco.
The 29-year-old has since scored 37 goals in 125 appearances for the Blancos, but only 14 of those outings have come during the current campaign.
James returned to Madrid last summer following a two-year loan spell at Bayern Munich, with a view to forcing his way back into Zidane's plans.
