James Rodriguez has spoken openly about his football future, and dropped a huge hint that his ideal next destination will be the Premier League.
Rodriguez, who was the star of the 2014 World Cup but has since become Real Madrid's forgotten man, is widely tipped to finally leave the Bernabeu this summer.
And England's top flight would be a 'good thing' for him, Rodriguez has personally admitted this week.
The Colombian was a guest on the podcast of motivational speaker Daniel Habif, during which he stoked the flames of speculation regarding a summer switch to the Premier League.
'I've already been in several good leagues and the only thing missing is Serie A and the Premier League, you have to see where I want to go or where they want me to go,' Rodriguez explained.
'Going to England would be a good thing, it's a top league.'
The playmaker, who turns 30 next July, has however outlined that he is still searching for clarity regarding who his next club will be.
He added: 'I too would like to know where I am going. It may take days or weeks until I know where I am going.
'I really don't know. I want to go where I can play, where I am happy and where I feel loved by the whole world.'
During the past few seasons Rodriguez undertook a two-year long spell with German champions Bayern Munich, where he impressed in spells but ultimately was not permanently acquired by the club.
Since, Rodriguez has been linked with a multitude of teams, including the likes of London trio Chelsea, Tottenham and Arsenal.
This is the last summer in which Madrid can make a financial return on Rodriguez, given his contract expires in July 2021 and the player can join a European club for free in January.
Boss Zinedine Zidane is therefore set to cash in, in order to bring on board at least some funds for his own transfer kitty. Madrid however are set to make a large loss on the £60m they paid for him six years ago.
On the subject of Zidane, Rodriguez insists he is respectful of his manager, though says he is not favoured by the Frenchman.
'He [Zidane] has his own tastes for some players and he is respectable,' Rodriguez said.
'I don't get involved there. When you see that you don't have the same opportunities as your teammates, it's difficult. I wanted to leave and the club wouldn't let me leave.
'I wanted to go where I could have played, I knew I would not have opportunities, because Zidane already had his base. My wish was that the fans would have the memory of my previous stage at Madrid, not this ... I did 36 goals and 42 assists '.
Reflecting on the season just gone, in which Rodriguez played just 14 games in total and only eight in the league, he admitted: 'It is one of the biggest disappointments of my career, but thank God I am young and I have years ahead of me to be happy.'
