Nacho does not believe team-mate James
Rodriguez has said goodbye to Real Madrid after
applauding the entire Santiago Bernabeu on
Sunday.
James has been heavily linked with a switch to
Premier League side Manchester United and talk of
a move away from the Spanish capital intensified
following the 4-1 rout of Sevilla.
The Colombia international came off just past the
hour-mark and applauded the Madrid fans but
Nacho does not think it was a farewell.
"The ovation for James was very nice," Nacho said
afterwards, having scored and assisted another as
Madrid stayed level on points with leaders
Barcelona.
"The whole stadium has applauded him, he's a
great player and I don't think it's a goodbye."
James, 25, is desperate for regular football, having
struggled to cement a spot in Zinedine Zidane's
starting XI.
Madrid goalkeeper Keylor Navas – who faces an
uncertain future himself – added: "James has his
contract and as always, he is working in a
professional manner.
"We love him as a person and admire him as a
player. He is motivated and always ready to play."
