The 25-year-old linked up with the La Liga giants in a whopping £75m deal two years ago after impressing for Colombia at the 2014 World Cup.

But he’s struggled to live up to that hefty price tag and has been hotly-tipped to head for the Bernabeu exit this summer.

Premier League side Arsenal are thought to be tracking him ahead of a last-minute megabucks swoop.

However, Sport claim they could all be left disappointed when the transfer window slams shut on Wednesday night.

The Spanish outlet say the former Porto star would rather stay with the 11-time Champions League winners, even if he isn’t guaranteed a starting spot.

Toni Kroos, Luka Modric and Casemiro are all ahead of him in the Real pecking order.

But is apparently hoping to win his first-team place back by impressing Zinedine Zidane from the bench.

Real have made a solid start to the 2016/17 campaign, beating Real Sociedad and Celta Vigo in their opening two fixtures.

He had been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League since the turn of the year, with Manchester United and Jose Mourinho the most likely suitors.

But now Spanish television show El Chiringuito have revealed that it is Arsenal who lead the race for his signature, having tabled an offer that falls just short of their €80 million (£69.8m).
The only other club to table an official bid are Italian giants Inter Milan, though their offer is also too low for Madrid to consider accepting at this time as they look to incite a bidding war.
Rodriguez already has ties to north London, having married Arsenal goalkeeper – and Colombia team-mate – David Ospina’s sister.

Arsene Wenger is reportedly ready to spend big this summer as he eyes a genuine title challenge following his decision to remain in charge at the Emirates for another two years.
He has already been linked with a record-breaking bid for Monaco’s Kylian Mbappe, and is also lining up deals for Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette and Nice midfielder Jean Seri.
