Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has ruled out a move for Real Madrid midfielder James Rodriguez this summer.
Rodriguez, 24, has been heavily linked with a move away from Madrid since the end of last season and there had been reports suggesting the Ligue 1 champions had held talks with the Colombia international regarding a summer switch to France.
PSG have already signed Hatem Ben Arfa and Grzegorz Krychowiak this summer but Al-Khelaifi has denied the club hold an interest in Rodriguez.
“It’s true that we have not spoken to James,” he is quoted as saying by Spanish newspaper Marca.
Of players that have made at least five appearances in the last two La Liga campaigns, no one has required fewer minutes per key pass than Rodriguez (27.8 mins).
