Bayern Munich are eager to sell James Rodriguez to a Premier League club this summer.

Bayern have James on a two-season loan from Real Madrid and intend to trigger the euro;42m option in his deal.

Diario Gol says the Munich giants will buy the Colombia international outright before selling him for a profit later this summer.

Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal have been mentioned as potential Premier League suitors, along with Juventus. Chelsea and the Gunners are mooted to be the most serious and are already in contact with Bayern about a deal for the midfielder.

James revived his career in Germany last season under veteran coach Jupp Heynckes. But there's doubts about where he stands in the plans of new manager Niko Kovac.
