James Rodriguez will not be leaving Bayern Munich in this transfer window, following reports he could be joining Arsenal in a short-term move.
The Colombian playmaker, who has six months left on a two-year loan from Real Madrid, has found the net just three times for the Bundesliga giants this season.
That led to speculation in the British and Italian press that the 27-year-old could move on this month, with the Gunners and Napoli mooted as potential targets.
Rodriguez hasn’t always been a regular starter under Niko Kovac, who took over as coach last summer.
However, ESPN claims Rodriguez will see out the remainder of his loan at Bayern before evaluating his options in the summer.
The 2017 agreement between the two clubs includes an option for Bayern to make the deal permanent in July 2019, if they pay a reported £37m in addition to the £11.5m loan fee.
Napoli remain confident they can strike a deal for the Colombian striker over the summer, with their current boss Carlo Ancelotti striking up a great relationship with Rodriguez during their time together at both Madrid and Bayern.
That was particularly the case during the 2014/15 campaign when the former Monaco man struck 13 goals and contributed as many assists in just 29 La Liga games.
