James Rodriguez has said he is happy and feels loved on loan at Bayern Munich, but said that the best years of his career so far have been at parent club Real Madrid.
Asked on Colombian YouTube programme “The Suso’s Show” whether he would stay at Bayern, the 27-year-old said his first year in Germany had been “spectacular” and he felt a close bond with the club and its fans.
“At the moment, yes,” James said. “I had a spectacular first season there. They love me a lot, the club, the fans.”
Asked during the show to name the best trophy wins of his career, James picked the two Champions Leagues won during his time in Madrid. The former Envigado, Banfield Porto and Monaco player also said that Madrid was the club at which he scored the most goals.
“I scored 36 goals there, it is the club where I scored the most goals,” he said. “It is not easy there. And 42 assists.”
James had an up and mostly down three seasons at the Bernabeu after joining from Monaco for €80m following a superb World Cup 2014 with Colombia, while winning two Champions League medals, one La Liga title and two FIFA World Club Cups.
Last season saw him win a Bundesliga title, and also not celebrate when he scored at the Bernabeu as Bayern were knocked out 4-3 on aggregate by Madrid in the Champions League semifinals.
