James Rodriguez Bayern Munich Future in Doubt Amid Talk of Return to Real Madrid

Bayern Munich are considering ending the two-year loan spell of Real Madrid winger James Rodriguez after only three months as new manager Jupp Heynckes "is not keen" on the player.

That's according to Alejandro Alcazar of Catalan newspaper Sport, who noted Carlo Ancelotti's recent dismissal from the helm of the Allianz Arena outfit has left Rodriguez "without his biggest fan."

It was Ancelotti who brought Rodriguez from AS Monaco to Real in the summer of 2014 before then loaning the wide man this past summer, but a spout of poor results led to his departure from the Bayern helm.
