James Rodriguez is ready to stick with Real Madrid this season.

While he has been warned he's no first-choice by Real coach Zinedine Zidane and could spend some time in the stands, James has intimated he's willing to stay in Madrid this season.

Chelsea are prepared to pay €70 million to take him to London, but James is now unlikely to budge.

Sport reveals having previously put his Madrid villa up for rent earlier this summer, James has now taken it off the market.

Real players will welcome the decision, with the locker room keen for the popular Colombian to stay.
