Atletico Madrid chief Miguel Angel Gil Marin says they're waiting on Real Madrid to make a decision about James Rodriguez.

Gil Marin refuses to hide his club's interest in the 28-year-old.

"I know that many Atletico Madrid fans would like [James]," he told ESPN.

"Additionally, speaking with some players, they believe he would bring that special quality and that is good for us.

"I know that our coach likes him, that James does not want to continue at Real Madrid and that Real Madrid do not want him to continue, but there have to be many circumstances for [the transfer] to become possible. It would be very nice."
