Chelsea line up stunning summer move for Real Madrid star James Rodriguez

James Rodriguez is ready to quit Real Madrid

CHELSEA are monitoring James Rodriguez's situation at Real Madrid, according to reports in Spain.

Rodriguez is said to be considering his future because of a poor relationship with Rafa Benitez.

The Colombia star joined Madrid in 2014 from Monaco after a stunning World Cup campaign.

He led his country into the quarter-finals, where they were beaten by hosts Brazil.

 

Manchester United had wanted him but he eventually moved to Madrid for around £60million.

But after injury at the start of the season he has struggled to break into Benitez's team.

He's made just four starts in La Liga and was hooked after 55 minutes in the clasico.

 

Rodriguez, 24, signed a six-year deal at the Bernabeu when he joined but is reportedly ready to quit if things don't improve in the coming months.

The Blues, according to Spanish publication Fichajes, are looking at him with concerns over Cesc Fabregas' influence.

The former Barcelona star was dropped for Chelsea's win over Porto, in which Ramires and Nemanja Matic combined well for Jose Mourinho's side.
