James Rodriguez has reportedly told Bayern Munich of his plans to join Liverpool.
The Colombian playmaker is currently midway through his first season of a two-year loan spell with the reigning Bundesliga champions from Real Madrid.
But Rodriguez’s time at the Allianz Arena may be cut short according to reports in Spain which claim the player has his heart set on a move to Anfield.
Diario Gol claim that the 26-year-old informed Bayern officials that he plans to join the Reds when the transfer window reopens this summer.
The ex-Monaco and Porto player has enjoyed a productive first half-season in Bavaria, contributing to nine goals in the Bundesliga to date.
Injury to Thiago Alcantara saw Rodriguez handed a more prominent first-team role under Jupp Heynckes after he succeeded ex-Real boss Carlo Ancelotti.
