James admits to fans he's leaving Everton

James Rodriguez admits he's likely to leave Everton this summer.

Rafa Benitez, who succeeded former manager Carlo Ancelotti following the Italian's shock return to Real Madrid at the end of the season, is rumoured to be ready to let Rodriguez leave in the current transfer window for the right price.

Rodriguez told fans on a live Twitch stream: "I don't know what's going to happen. I don't know – I don't know where I'm going to play.

"You know that in football and in life you don't know anything, but all I know is that I've been training hard, preparing well, training for myself and that's it.

"It's complicated. [I will play] wherever I'm wanted. Someone has to be at a place they're wanted."

Asked about a Real Madrid return, James added: "No, I don't think so. That is a closed cycle which I won't repeat."
