The future of James Rodriguez remains unclear and unresolved. Having scored hat-trick in the 6-0 victory over Mainz, Bayern Munich’s Colombian has talked about returning to Santiago Bernabeu at the end of this season: “We’ll see what’s going to happen.”

Likewise, it was logical to ask whether Zidan’s return would affect his future. James replied: “There is nothing wrong with me and Zidane. Personally, I do not think that will affect my future at all.” For the Bavarians, mid-June is the moment when they have to decide if they will materialize the loan clause, the final purchase of the midfielder for 42 million euros, or they will turn it back.

“We will have to decide if we will sign up with James or not, and ultimately this decision will be taken in consultation by both sides.” It is important that James does what he wants, “explained Uli Hoeness, the president of the Bundesliga giants.

On the other hand, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, chairman of the Bavarian club board, added: “Personally, I strongly believe we will see him playing here next season. We are all happy with him.”
His numbers with Bayern are positive after the start of the season with coach Niko Kovac. In 23 games played, the Colombian scored a total of 7 goals and has provided 6 assists.

Jordi Osei-Tutu: After Hector Bellerin’s injury, Unai Emery pulled the plug on the promising Arsenal right back moving.

The promising youngster was eyed up by clubs in Germany, France and the MLS in the January transfer window, but the Gunners aren’t interested in releasing their defensive starlet.

AFTER years of under-performing, Arsenal’s academy is producing some seriously good talent.

And it seems a golden generation could soon be celebrated by the club’s fans.
Emile Smith Rowe, Joe Willock and Eddie Nketiah have already made their mark for the senior team.

But scouts from other clubs are flocking to Arsenal’s under-23s games to watch Xavier Amaechi, Tyreece John-Jules and also Jordi Osei-Tutu, and there is some real excitement around the club.

Right-back Osei-Tutu is a regular for the under-23s and was wanted in the January transfer window by clubs in Germany, France and also MLS in the United States for a loan move.

Due to Hector Bellerin’s injury, Unai Emery put a block on any switch even though he has yet to feature for the senior team.

Osei-Tutu, 20, moved to Arsenal in 2015 after being signed from Reading’s academy for a fee of around £100,000.

Willian believes his team-mate, Eden Hazard, will stay in Chelsea even after this season, despite continuing interest from Real Madrid to transfer Belgian.

The Belgian star has been linked to a transfer to the Spanish capital continuously over the past few years. Even in October, Hazard had admitted that he dreams of playing for “Los Blancos” one day.

Real Madrid has intensified interest in Hazard this week after Zinedine Zidane returned to the position of coach. On Wednesday it was reported that Real Madrid had contacted Chelsea to announce this interest.

Before Thursday’s European league game, against Dynamo Kyiv, Chelsea winger Willian, was asked by reporters if he is worried about a possible Hazard’s departure this summer.

The Brazilian responded praising his teammate for his unique field skills before insisting that Belgium never spoke about the possibility of transferring to Real Madrid.

“It’s a difficult question. First of all, I hope he will stay with us. But in football you can never predict what will happen, “Willian said.

“Of course, Eden is a fantastic player, one of the best in the world. He is my friend, one of the best players I’ve played in all of my career. I just have to say that I hope he will stay with me. ”

“I have no doubt he is focused here. Of course, he wants to play, wants to help us win something this season. He has never said anything about Real Madrid or anything else. He just wants to continue playing for Chelsea. “
