Everton remain hopeful of agreeing a deal to sign James Rodríguez as negotiations with Real Madrid over permanent transfer for the Colombia midfielder continue.

It is understood that Carlo Ancelotti spoke to Rodríguez last week in an attempt to persuade him to move to Merseyside, with Real believed to want around £25m for a player they signed for a reported £63m from Monaco in 2014. The 29-year-old has just one year of his contract remaining in the Spanish capital and started just five league matches under Zinedine Zidane last season.
