Rodriguez is currently on a two-year loan from Real Madrid whose performances this season has been criticized heavily with his manager, Niko Kovac saying that James is playing for his future at the club. It prompted speculation of a move elsewhere with Arsenal reportedly making a move for the winger after Unai Emery is desperately looking for reinforcements this month.

Bayern has an option to make the loan move permanent but with James poor show this campaign, it seems highly unlikely they would do so. On the other hand, his former manager, Ancelotti is also interested in signing James at Napoli, and that move could not be ruled out either.
