The breakout star of the 2014 World Cup, James Rodriguez captured the imagination of the world with his displays for Colombia, winning the Golden Boot in addition to that year's Puskas award for his stunning goal against Uruguay in the round of 16.

His performance earned him a mega move to Real Madrid, with whom he won everything and cemented his position as one of the best midfielders in the world.

James however soon found himself out of the starting picture and got a loan move to Bayern Munich where despite initially being an integral member of the squad has found himself used less frequently since Niko Kovac was appointed at the beginning of this season.

The 27-year-old clashed with his manager in the dressing room after a sub-par performance in a UCL match, reportedly telling him that this is not Frankfurt, while also calling out Bayern sporting director Hasan Salihamidzvic.

The Colombian has increasingly found playing time hard to come by, leading to speculation that he is tired of life in Bavaria and is seeking an exit.

Rodriguez is still technically a Real Madrid player and reports have emanated that Arsenal have made an offer of £63m for the play maker.

If this move pulls through, it would be one of the most shocking transfers in a while yet, but there is a possibility of it happening, seeing as Ramsey is reportedly on his way to Juventus, while the Ozil situation continues to drag on.
