​Real Madrid playmaker James desperately wants reunion with Everton boss Ancelotti

Real Madrid midfielder James Rodriguez wants to move to Everton.

The Spanish giants have made the Colombian playmaker available for transfer.

They want €40 million to help with their squad rebuilding plan, as he is not seen as a priority by Zinedine Zidane.

Arsenal, Chelsea and Wolverhampton Wanderers all have an interest.

But Mundo Deportivo reports says that Everton are in pole position as they have Carlo Ancelotti, a manager who worked with Rodriguez at Real with much success.

The 28-year-old is hoping a Premier League move can resurrect his career, which has not reached the heights that were expected after his brilliant 2014 World Cup showing.
