James Rodriguez has declared he wants to stay with Real Madrid.

The Colombia international claims Madrid have received a £71million offer for him, but is adamant his future is with the European champions.

He told Marca: "I'm going to fight to earn a place in Madrid. That's my dream.

"I'm going to stay with Real Madrid, I'm going to triumph here. I know the club have had an offer of 85million (euros) for me, but I'm not leaving."

The 25-year-old joined Madrid for a reported £63million from Monaco on July 22, 2014, signing a six-year contract.
