James Rodriguez to stay put at Bayern Munich

Reports of a potential return of James Rodriguez to Real Madrid have been vehemently denied by Bayern Munich CEO Karl Heinz Rummenigge. After Zinedine Zidane's resignation, Rodriguez was linked with a return to the Bernabeu.

But the Bayern boss was quoted by ESPN as saying, "Lots of rumours that emanate from Spain are not true. The contract situation of the player is well known to everyone. James will definitely play for us this season, and I expect him to play for Bayern beyond that."
