James Rodriguez, who is on loan at Bayern Munich from Real Madrid, has a tough summer coming up ahead. The Bavarians' hierarchy are in disagreement among themselves on whether to sign him or not.

Bayern Munich CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge wants to keep the Colombian but president Uli Hoeness isn’t sure whether to exercise the buy-out clause. There is interest from Juventus but it is in the Premier League where he is in high demand.

Meanwhile, Marcus Rashford is set to sign a new contract with Manchester United. The player, who had interest from Barcelona and Real Madrid, had asked the club to give him wages worth £300,000-per-week, which means he is set to earn £15.8 million annually.

The Red Devils consider him a star for the future – as well as the present – which is why they are willing to pay over the odds to keep their prized asset.
